partypoker Team Pro Mike Sexton has fallen below the starting stack, but hasn't lost his patience one bit.
He joined the small blind in defending against a 700-chip open from the player under the gun. Then joined him again in checking the flop. The original aggressor led for 1,500 and Sexton was the only caller, taking them heads up to the turn.
Sexton checked, and when his heads-up foe threw 3,400 on the felt, he let it go.

With four levels of play now in the books the players are off on a 15-minute break.
Toronto's Kyle Chang has had two black kings no less than six times so far today.

After busting Day 1a dinner break leader Brian Wang earlier, Scarborough, Ontario's Senthuran Vijayaratnam has chipped up into a spot among the leaders.
He played bluff catcher moments ago to bust one aggressor who kept firing after Vijayaratnam flopped a flush draw with and turned a pair of aces.
Needless to say, the bluff did not work as Vijayaratnam called a shove on the river with what amounted to top pair and never saw his opponent's hand.
