Sidhu Cracks Geilich's Aces

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

We didn't catch the action, but we did see the dealer pushing a sizable pot to Kuljinder Sidhu, who had just doubled through Ludovic Geilich. The former had held {9-}{9-} and managed to hit a set to crack the latter's {A-}{A-}.

In the very next hand, Geilich shoved his last 3,625 all in under the gun and received a call from Chris Day on the button.

Geilich: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Day: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

According to the learn.PokerNews.com Odds Calculator, Day was the 55.45% favorite, but he was essentially flipping as Geilich's two overs would win 44.10% of the time.

The {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop was kind to Day as his fives were still good; in fact, they had a 76.45% chance of winning the hand. The {9-Diamonds} turn meant Geilich needed either an ace or seven to stay alive, but one of those would only come 13.64% of the time. Fortunately for the German, this was one such time as the dealer burned and put out the {7-Hearts}.

Here are counts for the two players as well as those for the other players at Table 10:
