Action picked up as WSOP bracelet winner Julien Sitbon and a player in the small blind were all in before the flop.
Sitbon, whose chips went in the pot in middle position, had the player in the small blind covered.
Opponent: 10♠8♠
Julien Sitbon: A♦10♦
The dealer placed A♣7♦5♦ on the board, giving Sitbon top pair and four to the nut flush draw. The 4♠ showed up on the turn, keeping Sitbon in the lead, while opening a gut-shot straight draw for his opponent.
The 9♦ arrived on the river, giving Sitbon a flush, the winning hand and a knockout.

Scott McKernan has been having incredible success with an interesting and novel strategy.
Twice in a row when he was in the big blind, an opponent moved all in. The first time, a player had just busted in the big blind, making McKernan the only blind. Nevertheless, the player on the button open-shoved. According to the table, McKernan made a speech asking his opponent why he would move in on his big blind, since there is no small blind. He then looked down at his cards to find pocket kings.
He called his short-stacked opponent, who had (and lost with) J♦8♦.
An orbit later, the player under the gun moved all in with McKernan in the big blind. Again, McKernan asked his opponent the same question: “Why would you move in on my big blind?” He then looked down at his hand and found - pocket kings.
The all-in player held A♥J♥, which was no match to McKernan’s K♣K♦ on the board of 10♣Q♥10♠Q♣6♣.
Opponents might now finally become weary of moving in on McKernan’s big blind. Stay tuned to see if a better strategy emerges, but for now, McKernan’s seems like the one beat.

Players were heads-up on a 2♠J♥9♠ flop when the big blind jammed all-in for 29,000.
Timothy Telliard was in the cutoff with around 35,000 behind and made the call.
Big Blind: K♠10♠
Timothy Telliard:J♠8♠
The big blind was already behind on the flop and the 3♥ turn and 3♦ river didn't improve the big blind. Telliard got the near double up and knocked out a player from the freezeout.
