Perfect Spot For Sydenstricker
Jo?o Sydenstricker opened to 60,000 from under the gun, and was called by Curtis Knight in the hijack. From the cutoff, Benjamin Gros three-bet to 315,000, keeping only 105,000 with him.
The button and the blinds folded, so the action came back to Sydenstricker who said "580,000" to four-bet. Knight looked at him, and announced all in for 3,900,000 chips. Gros threw his last chips in front of him, and Sydenstricker snap-called.
