Mike Sexton Staying Active
Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton might very well be the oldest player left in the field. At his age, it's important to stay active, and Sexton is doing just that by getting involved in plenty of hands.
First off Sexton was facing a bet of 1.1 million on the river of a board, but though he looked very curious and already had cut out the chips for the call, Sexton ended up surrendering the pot to Louis Nyberg.
A few hands later he was at it again with Nyberg, and this time they had Tommaso Briotti involved in the hand with them. On a board, Briotti made a bet of 850,000 from the small blind, Sexton called out of the big blind and Nyberg got out of the way. Briotti checked the river, and Sexton wasted no time firing 1.1 million, putting Briotti deep into the tank. Eventually, time was called on him, and halfway through the one-minute countdown the Italian quickly mucked his cards.
