De Korver Easily Handles Sexton

It was a very workmanlike first round match for Pieter de Korver. He ground Mike Sexton down to 8,000 chips before limping his button. Sexton shoved all in way {A-Spades}

and was met with a snap-call by de Korver, who showed {A-Clubs}

. Two kings on the flop caused Sexton to stand from his chair and prepare for his departure. He was drawing dead after the turn.

De Korver gave a short fist pump, shook Sexton's hands, and then shook hands with a friend sweating him on the rail. He'll be back tomorrow for Round 2.
