When everyone folds to John D'Agostino in the small blind, he verbally moves all in to challenge short-stacked Mike Sexton in the big blind, who only has 292,000. Sexton thinks for a moment and says something like, "All right, let's do this. I'm all in."
Sexton shows [Ad5s], and he'll need it to hold against D'Agostino's [Jd10c] to stay alive.
Le plateau arrive [Qh8s3hJh6d], and D'Agostino pairs his jack on the turn to win the pot and eliminate Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton from the tournament in 20ème place.
Sexton is often named as one of the best ambassadors in the game, and he respectfully went around the table to shake everyone's hand, as they said things like, "It was a pleasure playing with you, sir."
This is the first WPT cash in Sexton's career, though he was contractually forbidden from playing for the first five seasons or so, and only plays a few events each year since then.
It is also Mike Sexton's birthday, and the Royal Flush Girls sang "Happy Birthday" to him and presented him with a card earlier today.
