Sitbon Wins Flip to Send Labat to Rail

Tboss

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Antoine Labat opened 2,600 under the gun, and Julien Sitbon three-bet 7,500 in the cutoff. Labat put in a four-bet all-in for roughly 45,000 and Sitbon snap-called as he turned over his cards.

Julien Sitbon: Q♥Q♠

The A♥Q♣9♦ flop gave Sitbon a set of queens, but Labat still had life as he picked up a flush draw on the 8♦ turn. Unfortunately for him though, the K♣ river wasn't what he was looking for as he walked away from the table.
