Sexton Struggles Out of the Gate

Level 1 : 2,000/5,000, 500 ante

Mike Sexton, a well-known icon in the poker community, is one of the more familiar faces amongst the players competing here in Montreal this week. However, with the fame, comes a target on your back as well.

In a more recent hand, action was on Sexton in the big blind and he was facing a raise of 20,000 with two callers in between. Sexton made the call and four players saw the flop of {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Action was checked to his opponent in late position who made a bet of 30,000, and Sexton was the only one who called.

Heads up to the turn {5-Spades}, Sexton led out for 35,000 and his opponent raised to 75,000. Sexton shrugged his shoulders and called.

The river {7-Diamonds} killed the action as it went check-check and the hands were tabled. Sexton showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, but his opponent got the best of him on the turn, showing {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.
