Sitbon Hits the Rail
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened to 55,000 from early position and Mukhtor Nasiradinov called on the button. Kirill Aleksandrov three-bet shoved for 535,000 from the small blind which only Sitbon called.
Kirill Aleksandrov: K♠Q♠ 
Julien Sitbon: A♠K♥
Sitbon look poised to send Aleksandrov to the payout desk. However, the flop of Q♥7♠8♠ was incredibly favorable for Aleksandrov as he hit top pair and a flush draw. Sitbon couldn't improve on the 6♣ turn or 2♠ river and the majority of his chips were sent over to Aleksandrov.
Sitbon was left very short and eliminated just a few hands later.
