Sitbon Powers Through Flop

A player in early position limped for 4,000, but quickly faced aggression from Julien Sitbon, who raised to 9,000. Action folded around and the player called.

The dealer fanned 5♣J♥4♦ on the flop, which produced fireworks.

The player in early position checked and Sitbon bet 8,000, which produced a check-raise of 16,000 from Sitbon’s opponent.

Sitbon leaned forward and asked his opponent how much he had left. The player didn’t reply, but moved his hands aside to give Sitbon a view of the stack.

Sitbon, who had his opponent covered, then came back over the top with a 21,000 re-raise.

The player counted his remaining chip and placed them in a single stack. He glanced at the board for a few moments before eventually folding.
