Sexton Shocked to be Quartered

Mike Sexton, Oleg Shamardin and Sergey Altbregin were all involved in a tense pot on the feature table. With the board showing {j-Clubs} {4-Spades} {10-Hearts} {2-Spades}, Sexton bet and was called by Shamardin before Altbregin raised. Sexton three-bet, putting a big decision to Shamardin. He eventually folded, with Altbregin calling.

The river came {6-Diamonds}. Sexton bet and, after a moment of thought, Altbregin tossed in call. Sexton showed {a-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, two pair fours and deuces and the nut low. Altbregin triumphantly turned over {a-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, two pair tens and sixes and the nut low. Sexton was dumbstruck.

"That was a good card for me and the worst one," he said.

"There were worse ones," chimed in John D'Agostino.

"I'd have bet a million dollars when he just called I was getting at least half," said Sexton. "How can you get a good river card and it's the worst one you can see?"

Altbregin collected his three-quarters of the pot and said nothing.
