Sitbon Not Sitting Still

Evelyn Ng - Eliminated
Evelyn Ng - Eliminated
We've just had two back-to-back eliminations on Table 4. First to go was Evelyn Ng, holding {A-?} {K-?}. She tangled with Patrice Sitbon, and moved all in on a raggy flop. Sitbon held {A-?} {8-?} and paired up to eliminate the pro. Ng had been riding a short stack for most of her tournament, and she now finds herself on the outside looking in.

Moments later, we picked up a big hand involving Antonio Esfandiari and Sitbon again. The board read {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Hearts} on the turn, and there was nearly 30,000 in the pot. Sitbon put out a bet of 15,000, and Esfandiari went deep into the tank. After several minutes and several re-counts of his chips, he moved all in for a total of 29,000. Sitbon quickly called, turning over {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for the big straight. The Magician was drawing completely dead with his {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}, having been badly outdrawn on fourth street. He mustered a, "Nice hand... Good luck," as he made his way to the rail.
