Sinclair Busts Faria with Aces
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Day 1a chip leader, Luis Faria, opened the action to 17,000 from under the gun and was flat-called by Jack Sinclair in the seat to his left. Action folded to Sergio Coutinho, in the big blind, who squeezed for a total of 65,000.
Faria called and Sinclair then reraised to 145,000. Coutinho mucked his hand and Faria raised again, to 280,000 total, putting himself all in. Sinclair called.
Luis Faria: 
Jack Sinclair: 
Faria was given some hope when he flopped the flush draw on 
but the board ran out 
to knock out Faria and catapult Sinclair up the chip counts.
