"Trying to Get Out of My Misery"

Omaha-8

Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton raised to 6,000 from middle position only to have David Chiu three-bet to 9,000 from the hijack. The rest of the players folded, Sexton called and it was heads-up action to the flop. Sexton proceeded to check-call a bet and then did the same on the turn and river, though he was visibly hesitant to do so on the latter cards.

Chiu then tabled the for a full house and a live six, and Sexton showed the for the same low. With that, Sexton was quartered.

In the very next hand, Lamar Wilkinson opened for 6,000 under the gun and Sexton immediately three-bet to 9,000. "Trying to get out of my misery," he explained.

Allen Bari then called from the hijack, Wilkinson put in the additional 3,000 and three players saw a flop of . Wilkinson checked, Sexton bet 3,000 and both Bari and Wilkinson called. When the turned, Wilkinson led out for 6,000 and Sexton raised all in for 9,300 total. Bari called, as did Wilkinson and the completed the board on the river.
