This was Varan Sidhu’s first live win, and the prize money will likely be very nearly equal to his previous lifetime earnings. He came into Day 2 with just over 300k, but spun that up to the win. In one particularly big hand, he sent Garry Sandhu home in 3rd when he got flush over flush to take a massive lead into heads up.
It wasn’t an easy table. Runner-up Gordon Wong was the chip leader for Day 2, and played solid poker throughout both his Day 1 flight and the final day. The final table also included Kyle Stronski, Tyler St Clair, and Jimmy Lee, so Sidhu was up against some tough competition.
In the final hand, he found a great spot with a cooler on king-jack against queen-jack. Both players hit the jack and the kind played for the win.
