Sexton's Trips Are Better Than George's

Level 1 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Following the turn of a {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} board with about 10,000 in the middle, Chris George checked from the small blind and David Bach checked from the big blind. Mike Sexton bet 7,000 from the button, George called, and Bach folded.

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked.

George showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for trip fives with a king kicker, but Sexton tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for trip fives with an ace kicker to win the pot.
