Sexton Eliminated

Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton
Shortly after that big hand with Alexander Kostritsyn, Jani Vilmunen got involved in another one with a short-stacked Mike Sexton.

Sexton got all of his chips in on a flop of {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Sexton had {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a straight draw. But Vilmunen held {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} -- he had flopped top set once again.

The turn and river brought no help for Sexton, and he was eliminated. Vilmunen is at around 450,000.

Queens for Vilmunen

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Mike Sexton and Alexander Kostritsyn checked, and Jani Vilmunen bet 16,000. Sexton folded, and Kostritsyn called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}. Kostritsyn checked, Vilmunen bet 40,000, and Kostritsyn called.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}. Kostritsyn checked, Vilmunen bet 80,000, and Kostritsyn again called.

Vilmunen showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for top set, and Kostritsyn mucked. Vilmunen is up to 420,000, while Kostritsyn is down to 205,000.
