Sitbon Sizes Up on the Turn
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened 200,000 in the cutoff and both Maria Konnikova on the button, and Paul Lagan in the big blind made the call.
When the A♠K♦5♦ flop hit the felt, Lagan checked and Sitbon continued for 150,000. Konnikova quickly got out of the way, but Lagan matched the bet.
The 4♣ fell on the turn, and Lagan checked again before Sitbon pushed 725,000 across the line. Lagan gave it plenty of thought before deciding to muck his hand.
