Straight Wins It for Sitbon

Nick Becker

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action went five-ways to a flop of 5♦3♣2♣ in a limped pot, where it checked through to the 8♣ turn.

Pavel Plesuv led out for 3,000 and only Julien Sitbon called in the hijack, bringing the 7♦ river.

"How much is in the pot?" asked Plesuv. Once it was confirmed to be 15,000, he bet pot.

Sitbon thought for a moment before making the call with A♥7♥6♦4♦ for the straight, besting the A♣7♠5♥3♦ of Plesuv.
