Sexton Saved by a Straight

Niveau 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Sam Sexton was in a middle position and raised to 1,500. The hijack reraised to 6,000 and got a fold from the big blind and a call from Sexton.

The flop came 9♥8♥8♣ and Sexton moved all in. The hijack called for all his remaining stack.

Hijack: A♦A♠4♠3♣ All in
Sam Sexton: 6♦5♥4♣2♥

The hijack was ahead on the flop with two pair, but Sexton had some outs.

The turn came the 6♠ and Sexton picked up two pair, with a pair of sixes and the eights on the board, but still needed to improve on the river.

The 7♠ river gave Sexton the straight to steal the pot, and sent the hijack to the rail.
