Sitbon Missing as Banerji Booms

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

Julien Sitbon had increased his stack to around 200,000, but his media card was just handed over. A quick look at the table showed a monster stack of Shantanu Banerji, who kept knocking out short stacks left and right on Day 1c. Banerji looked up, smiled and explained what had happened.

Banerji opened to 6,700 and Sitbon three-bet to 17,000, Banerji called. On the {J-}{10-}{7-} flop with two spades, Banerji check-raised from 16,000 to 39,000 and Sitbon called before the Brit fired the {3-} turn for 47,000 and shoved the {3-} river for 110,000 effective. Sitbon didn't believe him and called with {Q-}{J-} for just top pair while Banerji rolled over pocket jacks.

Victor Choupeaux had top two against a set and busted, as did fellow Frenchman Emrah Cakmak.
