(Another) Sexton Chips Up

On a board of {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}, Paul Sexton splashed the pot with two orange 5,000-denomination chips.

His only opponent in the hand pushed all in for only a few thousand more with Sexton making the call.

Sexton: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

With Sexton out-flopping his opponent, he would have to fade only two of the remaining kings in the deck. When the river peeled the {A-Diamonds}, his opponent was on the rail.

As Sexton raked in the pot with his flopped bottom set, he climbed to over 62,000 in chips.
