Two Lose Seats to Sitton

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Soon after play resumed, James Geddes open-raised for his last 13,000 from early position, Hank Sitton called from a seat over, then Kou Vang reraised all in for 31,000 from the button. It folded back to Sitton who thought a moment, then called.

Geddes: {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Vang: {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Sitton: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Sitton called for his sixes to hold, and the dealer complied by delivering the community cards {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Both Geddes and Vang earn minimum cashes of $2,902 while Sitton moves up to about 240,000.
