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.

Alexandru Cinca

Florian Duta and Alexandru Cinca were heads-up on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} when Cinca moved all in for 410,000. Duta gave a deep sigh and reluctantly threw in a chip to call.

Alexandru Cinca:{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Florian Duta: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Duta's instincts proved correct as Cinca had woken up with aces. The board ran out {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Cinca doubled up.

"That's why you fold pre," Fahredin Mustafov joked with Duta after the hand. "Not possible to fold that board. Too strong."

"I fold 20 to 30 hands in a row. Every time I raise I get reraised. What kind of table is this," Cinca added with a smile as he took in the pot.
