Steve Bucker (left), Evan Teitelbaum (center), and Sheddy Siddiqui (right)

It looked like something was brewing on Table 8 with some tough players. Action folded around to Steve “Yo Cuz” Buckner on the button and he raised to 40,000. Evan Teitelbaum called from the small blind and Sheddy Siddiqui raised it up to 160,000 from the big.

Buckner took his time, counted out the call and his stack, and looked at Siddiqui’s stack before he folded. Teitelbaum thought for a minute as well before he released his hand. The two chuckled a bit before Siddiqui tabled the powerful 4d2d as he scooped the pot.

“That better make the blog!” Siddiqui laughed.

Sheddy Siddiqui – 560,000 (37 bb)
