Sitbon on the Right Side of a Cooler
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A pot of around 1,500,000 just occurred preflop between Julien Sitbon on the button and Kevin Eyster in the big blind. Sitbon was the shorter stack and the player at risk.
Julien Sitbon: A♣A♦
Kevin Eyster: A♠K♠
It was a brutal cooler that Sitbon was on the right end of with pocket aces.
There was no sweat for Sitbon on the 8♣6♥9♥3♥8♦ runout, and he earned the huge double-up, while Eyster was left with just a few big blinds.
