Mike Sexton and Marcel Luske Eliminated by Sam Farha

Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton
Pot-limit Omaha:

Mike Sexton limped in from early position, Sam Farha raised to 11,000, Marcel Luske moved all in for 49,000, Sexton called all in for 11,000 and Farha called as well. On their backs...

Sexton: {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Luske: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Farha: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Mike Sexton immediately began calling for low cards as the dealer burned and turned.

"I sure wish this was Omaha-8!" he said.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and the river was the {5-Hearts}. Though Sexton made a six-high straight on the river, it was bested by Farha's flush. Both Sexton and Luske were eliminated while Farha's stack jumped up to 210,000.
