Julien Sitbon opened to 5,000 from middle position and then called when Kubanychbek Abakirov made it 15,000 to go from the hijack.

Sitbon check-called bets of 11,000 and 35,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to show {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Sitbon, with around 80,000 behind, checked once more and Abakirov moved all in as the big stack.

Sitbon went deep into the tank and tried his best to get some information from his opponent. Abakirov encouraged Sitbon to call and the Frenchman eventually complied.

Abakirov had the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} which bested Sitbon's {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Sitbon was eliminated and quickly headed to the registration desk to hop into the ongoing Day 1b.
