Mike Sexton opened for a raise on the button and everyone folded. He won a small pot, which could be an omen for the rest of today and the tournament. In a big field like this many of the old school pros avoid playing large pots early in the Main Event. They are unwilling to commit all of their chips in the early stages.

As Phil Hellmuth once said, "Small pot poker. That's Phil Hellmuth poker.'
