Mike Sexton = Chip Leader

In this case for the WPT host Mike Sexton it couldn't be more true. Omaha is a game of draws and Mike Sexton has just confirmed this by eliminating an opponent in a big hand which now has him as the tournament chip leader.

The chips all went in on a board of {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

. Sexton showed {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

for a complete straight wrap and a king high flush draw. His opponent tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

for top set.

The turn landed the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

to give Sexton his flush and the blank {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

on the river leaves Sexton sitting pretty with a healthy chip stack.
