Sitbon Doubles After "Slowroll"
The action folded to the short-stacked Julien Sitbon in the small blind, who limped in. Sirzat Hissou checked in the big blind, and both players knuckled the table on the Q♠6♥3♦ flop.
The 2♦ turn then fell and Sitbon put in a pot-sized bet of 9,000 chips. Hissou did not deem that enough, however, and put all his chips in the middle, covering Sitbon's 30,000-chip stack.
Sitbon thought it over for a while, talking a bit to his opponent in the meantime. Eventually, he made the call for his tournament life.
Julien Sitbon: Q♦8♣
Sirzat Hissou: Q♣7♥
The 5♥ river completed the board and Sitbon's kicker remained in play.
"Slowroll," Alejandro Lococo said jokingly.
"A little bit," Sitbon admitted with a smile on his face while he raked in the pot and doubled up his dire stack.
