Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Paul Sexton:

Scott Cole:

Elias Hourani: 
/ 
Three players had met in a big pot with a juicy rollout on all boards. Paul Sexton led out on fifth with sevens out and Scott Cole called. Elias Hourini joined as well and he spiked an eight for a pair on sixth. He bet and both Sexton and Cole called with Cole's board showing four Broadway cards.
Two tens were, however, blocked on the other boards so Hourani fired on the river again. He received two calls and showed a missed flush draw along with two pair, tens and eights. Sexton had him beat with trip sevens while Cole briefly flashed what looked like aces up. Sexton is now a huge leader with roughly 350,000.
