Sexton Chips Up

Catching the action on the river with the board reading {3-Clubs}{J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs}, Mike Sexton was faced with a hefty pot-sized bet of 2,075.

Looking his opponent up and down, and then back at the board, Sexton eventually made the call to see his opponent table {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

Sexton, however, tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for the same two-pair, but with a better kicker, to take down the pot and climb back to 22,200 in chips.
