Mike Sexton raised to 1,100 first in from the cutoff seat, and the player next to him reraised to 3,800. Sexton made the call, and the heads-up flop came {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. Both players checked to see the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

hit the turn. Sexton bet this time, and his opponent called 3,500. Both players checked again when the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

fell on the river.

Sexton tabled {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

for three pair, but only the queens and nines counted, and it was good. His opponent showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

and the dealer mucked his ace high. Sexton is up to 49,000.
