Sinclair Flops the Joint to Double
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jack Sinclair and Marios Pavlou were heads-up on a flop of Q♠10♥9♦ as Sinclair had a bet of 10,000 in front of him from middle position. Pavlou, in the hijack, then raised to 21,000.
Sinclair came back with an all-in shove for 40,200. Pavlou ripped off his hat and let out a deep sigh as he went into the tank. "I know I'm losing," he said before eventually calling.
Jack Sinclair: J♥8♥
Marios Pavlou: 10♣9♣
Sinclair had flopped a straight and was ahead of Pavlou's two pair as the board finished 5♥8♦, securing his double up and knocking Pavlou down to a short stack.
