Cinca Wins With King-High
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alexandru Cinca raised to 4,000 from middle position and Mihai Nitse three-bet to 11,000 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Cinca put in the call.
The flop came down 2♥2♠6♠ and Cinca checked over to Nitse. Nitse fired out 5,500 and Cinca made the call.
The 3♥ on the turn went check-check, as did the 7♥ river Cinca showed K♣J♠ for just king-high, and to his surprise it was good as Nitse mucked while showing just the K♦.
