Ioli Doubles Through Sitbon

Chris Land

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Mark Ioli in the small blind who limped for 300,000. Julien Sitbon peeked at his cards in the big blind and looked over at Ioli's stack before announcing all in.

Ioli snap-called and the two were headed to a runout with Ioli at risk but with near even stacks.

Mark Ioli: A♦J♦
Julien Sitbon: 10♠10♦

The J♠ spiked on the flop along with the 9♣7♠ and suddenly Ioli was ahead. The K♣ turn and 5♣ river did nothing to put Sitbon back in the lead as he sends a full double Ioli's way and is left on less than three big blinds.

Samy Boujmala raised to 1,500,000 in the hijack and action folded around to Eshaan Bhalla in the big blind who moved all in for 3,100,000 effective. Boujmala sighed as he put in his final chips and the hands were turned over.

Samy Boujmala: A♦7♦
Eshaan Bhalla: K♣K♠

The board ran out Q♠4♠10♥3♣9♣ and Bhalla screamed "let's go!" while Boujmala shook his tablemate's hands and exited the tournament area with his rail.
