Sitbon Hits an Eight on the River to Eliminate Cendali
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened 20,000 under the gun, and Lorenzo Cendali called from a couple of spots to his left before Samuel Fournier, and Bruno Bernardino came along in the blinds.
The A♦K♥6♦ flop hit the felt, and once checked to, Sitbon continued for 13,000. Cendali moved all-in for 27,000, and both Fournier and Bernardino snap-folded before Sitbon called.
Lorenzo Cendali: A♠3♥
Julien Sitbon: K♠8♠
Cendali flopped top pair and the 2♣ turn was a safe one, but the 8♥ river gave Sitbon two pair, sending him away from the table.
