Smith Gets the Best of Sexton

Level 4

No-Limit Hold'em

From middle position, Justin Smith raised to 1,800 and Mike Sexton three-bet to 5,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Smith and he made the call.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Smith check-called a bet of 7,000 from Sexton. The turn was the {k-Clubs} and again Smith check-called, this time for 14,000. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Smith checked for a third time. This time Sexton checked as well and Smith tabled {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a full house. Sexton just shook his head and mucked his cards.

Sexton now has 135,000 while Smith has "boosted" up to 220,000.
