Hellmuth put Sexton all in before the flop holding
and Sexton made the call holding a pocket pair of queens. Sexton maintained the lead through the turn as the board filled out 
, but Hellmuth was able to spike the 
on the river to win the match."He deserves to win this one, folks" said Hellmuth, pointing at Sexton. "Last year against 'durrrr' I said I deserved to win it, but this year it's him."
Gavin Smith then chimed in from a neighboring table: "Actually, Mike's handling it a lot better than you did last year too."
Safely on to the Round of 32, Hellmuth will face the winner of the Jeffrey Ishbia v. Leon Yanovski match-up.
