Sitbon Tells A Story

Julien Sitbon came to the PokerNews desk on the break to share his bust-out hand. Apparently, Seth Davies opened to 7,000 from early position before Masashi Oya made the three-bet to 22,000. Sitbon then cold four-bet to 54,000.

Davies folded, but the preflop action did not end there as Oya put in the five-bet to 100,000 before Sitbon capped the betting when he wagered all of his 190,000 chips. Oya put in the call and the two players flipped over their cards in this six-bet pot.

Julien Sitbon: AxAx
Masashi Oya: KxKx

Sitbon only had to fade a king to ascend to the chip leader's residence and he seemed to successfully do so on the 7x5x4x flop. However, the turn was a devastating Kx and the river 3x remained free of aces.

Sitbon was eliminated, while Oya scored a huge pot to chip up to over ten starting stacks.
