Sitbon Hits an Eight on the River to Eliminate Cendali
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened 20,000 under the gun, and Lorenzo Cendali called from a couple of spots to his left before Samuel Fournier, and Bruno Bernardino came along in the blinds.
The A?K?6? flop hit the felt, and once checked to, Sitbon continued for 13,000. Cendali moved all-in for 27,000, and both Fournier and Bernardino snap-folded before Sitbon called.
Lorenzo Cendali: A?3?
Julien Sitbon: K?8?
Cendali flopped top pair and the 2? turn was a safe one, but the 8? river gave Sitbon two pair, sending him away from the table.
