Seat 4: Julien Sitbon, France – 2,850,000
Julien Sitbon, who started Day 3 in the chip lead, currently sits in 16th place on France’s all-time money list, with over $4.4 million in tournament winnings. He has previously claimed a WSOP online bracelet, the Master Classics of Poker title, a string of High Roller trophies, and banked no fewer than six cashes at EPT Prague just a couple of weeks ago.
The 42-year-old poker pro has lived in London for a long time, and comes to another streamed final table with plenty of experience under his belt to manoeuvre his somewhat short stack back into contention for another title. This year alone The Hendon Mob has recorded 41 live tournament cashes for Sitbon, including final tables in the €1,000 WSOPC Aix-en-Provence, the €2,200 Mystery Bounty at the Wynn Summer Classic, the £1,100 Hippodrome Lightning Tournament and the €2,100 NLH 6-Handed event at EPT Prague this month.
