Mike Sexton Eliminated in 15th Place ($26,108)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Mike Sexton - 15th Place
Mike Sexton - 15th Place

Josh Arieh raised from early position, and Mike Sexton moved all in for 52,000 near the button. The action folded back to Arieh who quickly called.

Arieh: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}
Sexton: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Sexton was dominated both ways, but hit a huge flop - {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Spades}!

"That's a good flop," Sexton professed with a smile.

The turn wasn't so good however - {k-Clubs}.

"That's not a good turn," Sexton chuckled.

The {4-Clubs} on the river was insignificant, and Sexton was eliminated in 15th place. He wished his competitors the best of luck, and then headed toward the exit.

Sexton finished 10th in this event last year, and deserves a ton of credit for consecutive deep runs. Our hats are off to the ambassador of poker; Mike Sexton!
