Hank Sitton Doubles Thru Matt Salsberg

Hank Sitton moves all in from the hijack for 46,000, and WPT Champions Club member Matt Salsberg calls from the big blind with [Ad9c]. Sitton turns over [7d7h], and he’ll need it to hold to stay alive.

The board comes [JdJs2s3d6c], and Sitton’s pocket sevens hold up to win the pot and double his chip stack.

Hank Sitton  –  104,000  (13 bb)
Matt Salsberg  –  520,000  (65 bb)

Even though Salsberg lost this pot, by cashing in this tournament he adds another 50 points to his WPT Player of the Year points lead with just two tournaments left after this one. It’ll be that much more difficult to catch Salsberg down the home stretch.
