Sitbon Gets Away from Kings

Tyler Foran

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With the 10♣5♥4♣ flop already on the felt, Julien Sitbon was in the tank as he faced a check-jam from Roland Nezaj. According to the table, Sitbon had already been in the blender for over 15 minutes.

After some back-and-forth banter, Sitbon said, "If this were a re-entry my money would already be in."

Some more time passed and Nezaj told him to fold his hand and that he was behind. Sitbon finally let it go, and Nezaj showed him he wasn't lying as he tabled 10♦10♠ for top set. Sitbon reached into the muck and pulled his K♥K♠ out as the dealer shipped the pot to Nezaj.

Tyler Foran

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The player limped in early position and Fehim Hajdari called on the button as well before Julian Millard raised to 4,000 from the small blind. The big blind, the original limper and Hajdari all made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of A♦4♣3♥ and Millard continued for 5,000. Only Hajdari called.

The A♠ paired the board on the turn and Millard slowed down with a check. Hajdari bet 4,000, and Millard called.

When the J♦ completed the board on the river, Millard checked once more and was faced with a bet of 50,000, which covered him. After about a minute, he tossed his cards into the muck.

The river was the 6♣, and Foxen bet again for 6,200. The button quickly called and turned over J♥8♥ for trip jacks to win the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player opened to 1,500 in the cutoff and was called by Phil Ivey on the button as well as both blinds.

Action checked to Ivey following the J♠5♣2♠ flop and he continued for 3,000. The small blind responded by moving all in for 27,100, forcing two quick folds from the big blind and cutoff. Ivey thought for a while before eventually calling with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.

Small Blind: K♠Q♠ All in
Phil Ivey: K♥J♣

Ivey was ahead with his top pair but would need to fade quite a few outs to win the pot. Nothing changed on the 7♣ turn with the 6♣ river keeping Ivey's pair best to hand him the knockout.
