Cintula Climbs Back
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Andrej Cintula and Jovan Kenjic were battling over 13,500 chips when the hand arrived on the turn on Q♠9♥6♣5♠. Cintula checked from middle position and Kenjic made a bet of 11,600 from the button.
Cintula thought about it for a bit before committing a call to the middle, and the 7♦ turn completed the board. Both players then checked in quick succession and Cintula tabled 8♣7♣ for a turned straight.
Kenjic mucked his cards as he could not beat that and Cintula chipped back up to above the starting stack.
