Bitton Fades the World
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alexandre Landron opened to 10,000 from under the gun and two players called behind before Micha Bitton three-bet jammed a stack of 57,000 on the button. Landron reshoved with a bigger stack and the other two players got out of the way.
Micha Bitton: A♣K♠
Alexandre Landron: K♣Q♣
The flop landed A♠7♦6♣ to pair Bitton's ace and have Landron drawing to just a few backdoors.
"Deuce of hearts!" Bitton screamed before the dealer handed out a bit of instant karma by putting down the 10♣ turn, giving Landron both a flush draw and Broadway draw.
The 6♠ then bricked off on the river and Bitton was able to fade his opponent's outs to stay alive.
