Sitbon Rivers a Set
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened to 2,500 from under the gun only to see Chris Hunichen three-bet to 8,000 one seat over. Action folded back around to Sitbon, who called to see a flop.
Sitbon checked following the 4♣10♦9♠ flop and Hunichen continued for 7,000. After some consideration, Sitbon responded with a raise to 22,000, which Hunichen flatted.
The 6♣ turn saw Sitbon slow down, checking to Hunichen, who, undeterred by the previous check-raise, fired off 35,000. Sitbon just called.
Both players checked to showdown on the Q♣ river and Sitbon turned over Q♥Q♦ for the rivered set, eliciting a cry of frustration from Hunichen as he appeared to muck aces face up.
