Sitbon’s Two Pair Takes It Down
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Julien Sitbon opened the action under the gun with a raise to 300, and Dimitrios Gkatzas defended his big blind.
The flop came J♦3♣5♦, and after a check from Gkatzas, Sitbon continued for 300. Gkatzas called.
Both players checked the 5♣ turn, but the Q♠ river sparked fresh action. Gkatzas led out with a small bet of 200, only to face a quick raise to 2,200 from Sitbon. After a brief pause, Gkatzas made the call.
Sitbon revealed Q♦7♦ for queens and fives, enough to send Gkatzas’s cards into the muck as the pot slid Sitbon’s way.
