Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Julien Sitbon opened 900,000 in the cutoff and Fabrice Maltez called off his 800,000 on the button.
Fabrice Maltez: A♠10♣
Julien Sitbon: 5♠5♦
It was a flip and the K♦7♠7♥ flop missed both players for Sitbon to still have the lead with his pocket fives. The K♠ turn counterfeit his pair though, giving Maltez the best hand with ace-high and the A♦ river improved him to aces and kings.
