Sinclair's Bullets Leave Kaukua Short-Stacked
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With around 75,000 in the pot on a flop of 7♦8♦6♥, Jack Sinclair checked it over to Toni Kaukua, who bet 44,000. Sinclair thought for a few moments before he shoved his stack of 190,000 into the pot, and Kaukua called.
Jack Sinclair: A♥A♣ 
Toni Kaukua: 10♦10♣
Sinclair was in the lead with his bullets but Kaukua did have a gutshot straight draw which gave him a few extra outs. The Finnish player never managed to connect with the 4♥8♥ runout which meant he was left with just 20,000 in his stack, while Sinclair jumped up the counts with around 450,000.
