After Lococo's Elimination, Sitbon Doubles Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After Alejandro Lococo's elimination by Paulius Plausinaitis (K?J?>A?K? on A?J?9?10?Q?), Manuel Fischer at the same table opened to 2,400 from the cutoff. But in the small blind, Kyle Chong three-bet to 9,000. In the big blind, Julien Sitbon moved all in for 7,500, and Fischer called Cheong's raise.
On the flop 4?5?9?, Cheong made a continuation bet to 4,000, and Fischer called. But when Cheong checked on the turn 5?, Fischer bet 8,000 and made Cheong fold.
Julien Sitbon: 2?2?
Manuel Fischer: K?Q?
While Fischer and Cheong were still playing, Sitbon looked like he was just waiting for his elimination. But after the river A?, he stayed in the tournament and tripled up.
