Sitbon Hits the Rail
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened to 55,000 from early position and Mukhtor Nasiradinov called on the button. Kirill Aleksandrov three-bet shoved for 535,000 from the small blind which only Sitbon called.
Kirill Aleksandrov: K?Q? 
Julien Sitbon: A?K?
Sitbon look poised to send Aleksandrov to the payout desk. However, the flop of Q?7?8? was incredibly favorable for Aleksandrov as he hit top pair and a flush draw. Sitbon couldn't improve on the 6? turn or 2? river and the majority of his chips were sent over to Aleksandrov.
Sitbon was left very short and eliminated just a few hands later.
