Action picked up on the river on a board reading {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Poker Hall of Fame member Mike Sexton was part of a three-way all in and had just tripled up, thanks to a great runout and the other two players having pretty much the same hand.

Mike Sexton: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
First Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Second Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The two players chopped the small side pot, but the first opponent was left short because he barely had Sexton covered in chips.
