Sexton Hits the Backdoor
Niveau 16
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
With over 2.0 million in the middle, the board read 
and Mike Sexton led out for 800,000 from the big blind. Ari Engel sat in thought and finally made a raise to 2.6 million on the button.
"Ughhh," Sexton grumbled. It was now his turn to go in the tank, afraid he may have made a mistake by betting the river. After a couple minutes, Sexton dropped chips into the middle to make the call and Engel tabled 
for a missed flush draw. Sexton turned over 
as he rivered a backdoor flush and scooped the pot.
