Broda Doubles Off Sitbon; Hewes Finds an Ace to Bust Saout
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Julien Sitbon raised to 12,000 in early position before Richard Broda three-bet to 61,000 on the button. Sitbon called to see the 2♥Q♠5♥ flop, where Broda bet his last 3,000. Sitbon again called.
Richard Broda: 8♥8♠
Julien Sitbon: A♣4♣
Sitbon hit a pair on the 4♠ turn, but Broda's eights stayed in front through the 6♠ river to earn him a double up.
At the same time at another table, Antoine Saout was all in for 70,000 from the hijack and up against Michael Hewes in the small blind.
Antoine Saout: K♦K♠
Michael Hewes: A♠K♥
Saout was poised for the double up with his kings as the board came 4♦10♣6♠3♣, but Hewes spiked the A♣ on the river to send Saout to the rail.
