In a battle of the blinds, Sheddy Siddiqui and John Duhig got the chips in the middle with Siddiqui having the bigger stack.

Siddiqui also held the best hand with AsQs dominating Duhig’s Ac6c and nothing changed as the board ran out 9s8s3dJhKd. Duhig earned one title earlier in the series but had to settle for 9th place in the Championship for $13,590.

The hand moved Shiddiqui up to 2,700,000 and back in contention for the lead at the eight-handed table.
