Winner's Reaction
PokerNews asked Haidary how he felt after winning and his plans for the remaining summer and he responded.
“I’m so happy! My plans for the moment are to play more poker and celebrate with my wife and kids who are back home. I’m appreciative to be here”
Haidary reflected on his Australian poker playing background and explained that “We have a great poker scene. There are a lot of great players in Australia and I’m lucky to be one of them.”
With the roaring crowd of friends cheering him on from the rail, Haidary emphasized that great moments don’t mean anything if they aren’t shared with friends. His triumph felt so much better with the good friends that he has.
Haidary shared that “there were three big hands where I bluffed for pretty much all my chips on the turn. All three of them went through.” This is when he felt confident that he would win the event.
Finally, when asked for any closing remarks, Haidary noted that “I just woke up this morning and said I’m as close as it gets to winning. Everything went smoothly so it was great.”
Final Day Recap
Any action missed from the final table can be found in the Day 3 recap. Haidary found himself heading into Day 4 as the chip leader and would tear through the remaining players until heads up. Haidary’s aggressive play and patience helped him to take down the event.
Only four players returned for Day 4, and the short stack of Brandon Schwartz found an early double up through Gleissner. Shortly after Gleissner found a double through Krasimir Yankov to leave him as the short stack.
Living on borrowed time, Schwartz was the first to exit as he was left short when he moved all in with big slick and was out flopped. He was all in the following hand with the majority of his chips in for the big blind and ante. He couldn’t beat Haidary’s button raise as he was sent home.
Yankov fell shortly after when he lost a flip against Gleissner. At the time, Haidary held a little over two-thirds of the chips in play.
Early into heads-up play, Gleissner found a double to take the chip lead. Haidary soon got revenge as he hit two pairs with a higher flush draw than Gleissner’s open-ended straight and flush draw.
Haidary now sat confidently with three-fourths of the chips in play. Not long after, Haidary won a flip against Gleissner to take down the event surrounded by his friends and fellow players.
This concludes the PokerNews coverage of the event, but there is still plenty of more action to come at the 2024 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas so stay tuned for all your live coverage needs.
