Mike Sexton Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,035)

Chad Holloway

After Bryn Kenney brought it in with the {3-Hearts} , Huu Vinh completed and Perry Friedman called. Mike Sexton then sprung to life with a raise, Kenney folded and both Vinh and Friedman called. The turn saw Sexton led out with a bet, both his opponents called, and then he committed his last 10,000 on fifth street. Again Vinh and Friedman called before the former fired out a bet on sixth and drove out the latter.

Sexton: {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} / {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} / {3-Diamonds}
Vinh: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} / {4-Spades} {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Friedman: (x-x) / {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {8-Spades} {A-Clubs} / (x)

Sexton got it in with kings but fell behind when Vinh made two pair on sixth. Sexton was drawing live on seventh, but the {3-Diamonds} blanked and he was eliminated in 15th place for $12,035. Ironically, Sexton also finished in 15th place in Event #4 $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better earlier in the series.
