Sriharsha Doddapaneni Busted On Day 6 of EPT Barcelona ME, Takes Home ~₹80 Lakh

Sriharsha Doddapaneni has completed his fantastic run at EPT Barcelona, but not before making the Indian poker community proud. He finished 12th on the Day 6 of the €5300 EPT Barcelona Main Event and exited. He was eliminated and took home €89,550 (~₹80 Lakh). 

Doddapaneni kicked off Day 5 with a formidable presence, holding the fifth-largest stack of 2.73 million chips. Throughout the day, he combined aggressive play with strategic risks, showcasing the skills that have solidified his status as one of India’s top poker professionals.

At the beginning of Day 5, Doddapaneni had the fifth largest stack of 2.73 Million chips. He first flew into Yurii Zabrodotskyi, who opened for 100K from the cutoff. Doddapaneni found logic in calling from the small blind. At the flop of 2 ♦ 6 ♠ and A ♠, Dodappaneni check-called a 75K bet from the Ukranian. At the turn came 4 ❤ , Yuri put forth a 450K bet. The showdown came at the river J ♣, and Zabrodotskyi took the pot with a king-high of K ❤ Q ♣, as compared to Doddapaneni’s missed flush draw with K ♠ and 10 ♠.

Later in the day, Doddapaneni clashed with Luka Sorainen. Sorainen was defending his big blind, and the flop came down K ♠ J ❤ 8 ♠. Sorainen check-called Doddapaneni bet. The turn was 8 ♠, leading to Sorainen checking again. Doddapanenni went all in, while Sorainen folded. Doddapaneni by now had a healthy stack of 2.5 Million. As Day 5 wound, Doddapaneni built his stack to 3.37 Million and ended with 3.21 Million at 8th position. 

On Day 6, Doddapaneni moved in for 1,620,000 from the button. Stephen Song called from the small blind. Doddapaneni showed up with K ♦ J ❤ . Stephen Song showed A ♦ K ♠. The board greeted them with 10 ♣ 8 ♣ 6 ♠5 ♣ 8 ♠. The Indian player left the felts in 12th position.

The poker fraternity looked forward to Sriharsha proving his mettle further in the tournament, but that wasn’t to be. His EPT outing has worked well for his rankings and bank balance.
