Scott Sitron Eliminated in 5th Place ($156,090)

Scott Sitron - 5th Place

Scott Sitron opened with an under the gun raise only to have Matthew Carmody three-bet the button to 140,000. Once the blinds passed and the action passed back to Sitron, he four-bet to an additional 260,000.

Carmody paused before making the call as the dealer spread a {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop as Sitron fired a continuation-bet of 500,000. Carmody moved all in, and with only 520,000 remaining, Sitron made a committed call.

Sitron: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Carmody: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

With Sitron drawing dead to a runner-runner wheel or kings, the {4-Diamonds} on the turn completed one of his backdoor draws. Unfortunately for Sitron, the river would land the {K-Spades} to end his tournament in 5th place, and as he collected $156,090 for his efforts, Carmody soared to 7,450,000 in chips.
