Shimizu Among First to Bust After Late Registration
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nozomu Shimizu opened to 11,000 and Erik Seidel called in the cutoff. Julien Sitbon then made it 37,000 to go from the button before Shimizu four-bet all in. Seidel quickly folded before Sitbon instantly called to put Shimizu at risk.
Nozomu Shimizu: 9♦9♥
Julien Sitbon: A♥A♣
A dire situation for Shimizu and the 2♥7♥2♦ flop did not help him. The turn A♦ sealed the deal as Sitbon improved to a full house, and Shimizu took his leave while Sitbon added even more chips to his already impressive stack.
