Sinclair Shows a Jack

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a board of {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, action checked to Jack Sinclair on the button and he bet. Only Georgi Sandev called.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Sandev again checked. Sinclair sat still with his hippopotamus card protector sitting atop his stack and eventually bet 110,000. Sandev laid it down.

Sinclair left the table guessing whether he had it by showing the {j-Hearts}, but Sandev seemed less than impressed.

"Ooooooh!" Sandev laughed sarcastically.
