Tough Times For Cinca

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kubanychbek Abakirov raised to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Rabih Saad before Alexandru Cinca, in middle position, three-bet to 250,000.

Abakirov put in a four-bet to 610,000 when action folded back to him. Saad quickly folded, but Cinca tanked for a few moments.

"What the f**k am I supposed to do now," he said before he mucked. "Three months ago I would never fold that hand, but times are tough right now."

They would get a little better a few hands later, however. Cinca, Saad, and Fahredin Mustafov went three-handed to the turn on a board of {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} when Cinca bet 50,000. Mustafov raised to 250,000 from the small blind and Saad folded.

Cinca called to the {a-Diamonds} river and Mustafov slowed down and checked. "Eighty," Cinca announced, and Mustafov quickly folded.
