Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton

Following a raise to 20,000 from middle position, and then a call from Ryan Yu in the hijack, partypoker Chairman Mike Sexton three-bet to 85,000 from the big blind.

The original raiser called, and Yu folded, as the flop landed {2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Sexton continued for 80,000 and his opponent called as the turn landed the repeat {5-Spades}.

Sexton tossed in 100,000, and his opponent called as the river landed the {6-Hearts} and both players checked.

Sexton revealed his {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}, but his opponent trumped him by tabling his {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top pair.
