Mike Sexton opened with a raise from early position and the small blind player jammed for his remaining stack, Sexton called.

Mike Sexton: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Sexton was ahead with his pocket pair and the {2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} rainbow flop was a great flop from him with no diamond on the board.

The turn paired the board with the {2-Hearts} and Sexton just needed to dodge an ace.

Sexton indeed dodged an ace as the river fell the {9-Spades} and he eliminated his opponent.
