Mike Sexton Triples Up to 170K

Mike Sexton raised to 3,200 and was re-raised 18K. Sexton called. The flop was 9-9-2 and Sexton got the rest of his money (about 18K) into the pot with A-A-Q-7. He was up against A-10-7-6 and Q-Q-6-5. The turn was a J and the river was a 9 which gave Sexton a full house. He tripled up to 170K.

"Mike, you tried to tell them what you had," said David Williams.

"You gotta love the action," responded Sexton.

This Game Takes Heart

With K-9-8-7, Rafi Amit flopped a straight on a board of {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. His opponent moved all in when the {4-Hearts} fell on the turn. Amit called with just a straight. That was a ballsy call considering that any flush would have him beat. His opponent had just A-A-x-x and Amit won the pot when a blank fell on the river. It takes a lot of heart to play poker, especially Pot-Limit Omaha.
