Sexton Knows the Score

The pace of play has slowed a good bit now, and oddly, the action has tightened up a bit as the final table has progressed. Each of the last eight pots were won with a single preflop raise, or a single bet on the flop or turn. Surprisingly few hands are being contested right now, though it's only a matter of time before things pick up again.

Emcee Tom Sexton has been doing his part to keep things interesting. There are a couple dozen railbirds sweating the action today, mostly friends and family of the players. When things get a little too dull, and the audience's focus starts to wander, Sexton chimes in with a poker story to kill some time. With the Sexton family so involved in the poker world, you can imagine that Tom has no shortage of stories to tell. Topics so far have included Johnny Chan's 1987 win, the hand that changed poker forever, Stu Ungar, brother Mike Sexton, and the worst bad beat in the last forty years.

Many thanks to Tom for keeping things interesting here over the past few hours.
