Sitbon Falls Even Shorter as Maltez Doubles

Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Julien Sitbon opened 900,000 in the cutoff and Fabrice Maltez called off his 800,000 on the button.
Fabrice Maltez: A?10?
Julien Sitbon: 5?5?
It was a flip and the K?7?7? flop missed both players for Sitbon to still have the lead with his pocket fives. The K? turn counterfeit his pair though, giving Maltez the best hand with ace-high and the A? river improved him to aces and kings.
