Sitbon Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Julien Sitbon's elimination burst the bubble
Julien Sitbon's elimination burst the bubble

Julien Sitbon came in as the shortest stack, and while he was able to outlast two of the final nine players the Frenchman could go no further, falling at the hands of Roger Teska to guarantee all six remaining finalists a payday of at least AU$59,413.

The first 60-minute level played had not long concluded and Sitbon's stack had dropped down to 50,000, which all ended up in the middle following a Roger Teska cutoff open for 12,000.

After the rest of the table got out of the way Teska made the call and the two players turned over their hands.

Roger Teska: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Julien Sitbon: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"I know you guys are all praying for the ace," joked Sitbon good-naturedly.

It came straight in as well, with the flop coming down {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to a big sigh from Sitbon. The rest of the run out coming {10-Diamonds} and {6-Spades} respectively to bring Sitbon's time at the final table to an end.

"Good game guys," said Sitbon, shaking everyone's hand and hitting the rail, while Teska stacked up to 466,000.
