Sitbon's River Bet Forces a Fold
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Heads-up action was caught with Julien Sitbon in the big blind and Klemens Roiter on the button waiting for the flop to come down.
The dealer fanned out 9♥3♣Q♠. Sitbon checked, prompting Roiter to fire 8,000. Sitbon raised to 28,000 making Roiter think of his options.
He finally made the call, leading them to the turn. The turn fell 5♠ and Sitbon kept the pressure with a 31,000 bet. Unfazed, Roiter hung on.
Sitbon finally placed 109,000, sending Roiter to the tank. He took considerable time to think of his options, even setting aside the chips for a possible call. He eventually mucked his hand and left the pot for Sitbon to scoop.
