Salomon Pays Off Sexton's Set
Mike Sexton raised to 100,000 from middle position and it folded to Rick Salomon who called from the small blind.
All three postflop streets went similarly, with Salomon check-calling Sexton each time. After the flop, Salomon check-called a bet of 150,000 right away. After the turn, Salomon checked and called a bet of 250,000, again without hesitation.
