Sitbon Rivers a Set

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Julien Sitbon opened to 2,500 from under the gun only to see Chris Hunichen three-bet to 8,000 one seat over. Action folded back around to Sitbon, who called to see a flop.

Sitbon checked following the 4109 flop and Hunichen continued for 7,000. After some consideration, Sitbon responded with a raise to 22,000, which Hunichen flatted.

The 6 turn saw Sitbon slow down, checking to Hunichen, who, undeterred by the previous check-raise, fired off 35,000. Sitbon just called.

Both players checked to showdown on the Q river and Sitbon turned over QQ for the rivered set, eliciting a cry of frustration from Hunichen as he appeared to muck aces face up.
