Sexton Busts, Ramirez and Clements Battle
by Rachel on 06.13.09, 8:47 pm
We got over the the $5K Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low event just in time to catch Mike Sexton’s final hand. Sexton was the first player to get all his chips in the middle, but the player in seat six moved all in as well and Andy Bloch called having both players covered. The cards were tabled:
Sexton: A
K
J4
Seat six: A
6-5-3
Bloch: K6
42
The board ran out QJ4TK, giving seat six the entire pot and eliminating Sexton.
Senovio “Dorsal Fin” Ramirez was moved to Scott “BigRiskky” Clements‘ (pictured at left) table during the last level and the two tangled on the very first hand dealt after the move. Eli Elezra raised before the flop and both Ramirez and Clements called. The flop was QJ3. Ramirez led out for 8.5K and Clements put in a pot-size raise to 47.5K. Eleza then called all in for less and Ramirez was left with what looked like a very difficult decision based on him actions. He thought for quite a while, adjusting and then re-adjusting his hat as he tried to decide what to do. Eventually he decided to make the call, saying that he had only a naked flush draw.
Ramirez: A{9}64
Clements: QQ44
Elezra: KK43
The turn was the 5 and the river was the J, and Clements scooped the pot with his full house, queens full of jacks. He moved up to 140K after the hand while Ramirez dropped to just under 100K. Elezra was eliminated.
