Sitbon Sent to the Rail

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

Julien Sitbon limped from the hijack and Akseli Paalanen raised to 90,000 from the cutoff. Sitbon made the call.

On the 7JQ flop, SItbon bet out for 265,000, which left him just 5,000 behind. Paalanen raised to put SItbon all in, who went into the tank waiting for a pay jump. The table were debating when to call the clock when SItbon made it easy for them and tossed in the call.

Julien Sitbon: J987 All in
Akseli Paalanen: AKQ9

Sitbon was ahead but had to dodge a lot of outs, the A turn being one of them, which sent Paalanen into the lead. When the 10 peeled off on the river this grew even bigger at the finishing line, to send Sitbon to the rail.
