Sexton Denied Record 13th Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better Cash

Chad Holloway

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Mike Sexton is a Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better beast. His one and only WSOP bracelet came in the game back in 1989, and all told he has 12 cashes in the variant. Sexton had high hopes of cashing for a thirteenth time today (which according to WSOP Media Director Nolan Dalla would have been a Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better record), but his dreams of doing so just came to an end when he was eliminated from the tournament in unknown action.

He may be gone, but we haven't seen the last of Sexton at the 2013 WSOP. In fact, we expect he'll be playing more than ever with the side bets he's booked.

I made 16 individual "do better" bets at WSOP & could only play 2 of 1st 12 events & have to miss 3 more days. #whatwasIthinking? Let's Go!June 05 2013

Even though the Poker Hall of Famer is no longer with us, we thought it'd be worthwhile to take a look back at Sexton's Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better accomplishments:

Kelly & Shchemelev Chop Mercier's Chips

Chad Holloway

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Jason Mercier: / /
Matthew Kelly: / /
Vladimir Shchemelev: / /

We picked up the action on sixth street when Vladimir Shchemelev fired out a bet and both Jason Mercier and Matt Kelly called. Shchemelev slowed down with a checked on seventh, Mercier followed suit and Kelly took the opportunity to bet. Shchemelev called and Mercier got out of the way.

Shchemelev:
Kelly:

Shchemelev's kings and nines were good for the high while Kelly's eight-six took the low. Mercier was the big loser in the hand and dropped to just 5,700 after the hand.

Richey Eliminates Mercier

Chad Holloway

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Jason Mercier: / /
Brett Richey: / /

Jason Mercier has been playing two tournament all day. Of course he has been playing ours, but he has also been going deep in Event #12: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em. Since making the final three tables in the latter event, Mercier's attention for the Stud 8 diminished a bet.

After being moved to Table 427, Mercier got involved in a hand against Brett Richey just before the level went up. We picked up the action on fourth street when Mercier check-called a bet before leading out for his remaining chips on fifth. Richey called, both players turned up their cards and sixth and seventh were run out.

Mercier: /
Richey: /

Mercier had a pair of queens, but it was no good against Richey's aces and eight-seven low. With that, Mercier was eliminated and literally bolted back to his table in Event #12: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em.
