Cinca Gets Maximum Value With the Second Nuts

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Alexandru Cinca
Alexandru Cinca

There were already 10,000 chips in the pot on a 439 flop when Ruslan Atnagulov checked from middle position and Alexandru Cinca fired 1,500 from the cutoff. Atnagulov then bumped it up to 10,000, and Cinca called.

A Q on the turn saw Atnagulov fire for 10,000, which Cinca instantly called to the A river. Atnagulov threw out 20,000, Cinca shoved for almost 85,000, and Atnagulov announced a call before even knowing the size of the shove.

Cinca then flipped K7 for a flush, which bested the 109 of Atnagulov, who had a smaller flush.
