Cintula Shows Spataru the Goods

Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andrej Cintula raised to 18,000 on the button before Andrei Spataru three-bet to 42,000 in the small blind.
Cintula called and they went heads-up to the 2♣J♣2♠ flop. Spataru continued for 25,000 and Cintula called.
The turn came the 2♥ and Spataru bet another 45,000. Cintula took his time but called again to see the J♠ river.
Spataru slowed down and checked as Cintula fired out 86,000. Spataru quickly mucked.
"Did you have the jack," tablemate Ramzi Zuraikat asked Cintula as Cintula flashed a smile before showing the 2♦ for quads.
"That jack saved me," Spataru said, breathing a sigh of relief as he leaned back in his seat.
"That's a good loss. First time today quads that I've seen," Zuraikat added.
