Sexton and Pastura Tangle Again

Mike Sexton opens to 8,000 in the hijack and Giuseppe Pastura defends the big blind.

Flop: [Jh] [5d] [3d]

Pastura check-calls an 8,000 Sexton c-bet.

Turn: [Ad]

Both players check.

River: [7h]

This time Pastura leads for 8,000 and Sexton makes what looks like a reluctant call. Pastura shows [As] [8s] for top pair and Sexton mucks his pocket kings.

"I should stop playing with you," says Sexton.

"You don’t like me?" Pastura asks.

"I love you…I love the action," says Sexton.

Pastura ~ 360,000
Sexton ~ 445,000
