Sexton Shocked to be Quartered
Mike Sexton, Oleg Shamardin and Sergey Altbregin were all involved in a tense pot on the feature table. With the board showing , Sexton bet and was called by Shamardin before Altbregin raised. Sexton three-bet, putting a big decision to Shamardin. He eventually folded, with Altbregin calling.
The river came . Sexton bet and, after a moment of thought, Altbregin tossed in call. Sexton showed , two pair fours and deuces and the nut low. Altbregin triumphantly turned over , two pair tens and sixes and the nut low. Sexton was dumbstruck.
"That was a good card for me and the worst one," he said.
"There were worse ones," chimed in John D'Agostino.
"I'd have bet a million dollars when he just called I was getting at least half," said Sexton. "How can you get a good river card and it's the worst one you can see?"
Altbregin collected his three-quarters of the pot and said nothing.
