Julien Sitbon Eliminated in 4th Place ($45,350)

Matt Warburton

Level 24 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Aliaksandr Hirs open raised to 100,000 and Julien Sitbon moved almost all in for 300,000 from the button, leaving just 25,000 behind. Oleg Semionov pushed all in over the top for 1,345,000 and Antoine Labat moved all in with the biggest stack.

Players flipped their cards a little prematurely, not seeing Sitbon's last chip, but Sitbon took it well and flicked in his 25,000, making for a three-way all in.

Julien Sitbon: J♦10♥
Oleg Semionov: 3♥3♠
Antoine Labat: K♥Q♣

The board ran out 5♥2♣J♠Q♠3♦. Sitbon paired his jack on the flop, but Labat paired his queen on the turn. It looked like Labat would scoop all the chips and bust two players in one hand, but the river brought Semionov a set of threes to give him the pot.

Sitbon was eliminated from the tournament in fourth place for $45,350.
