Gavrilut Gets No Action with Kings

Jaxon

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

He has been smiling and joking around at the table and eventually folded face-up. He then motioned to Gavrilut to find out if this was a good fold.

Chiriac let out a laugh of joy after Chiriac showed that he wasn't jamming light and turned over for the table.

Since the final table began it has been mostly slowball with many pots being won preflop and many others being taken down with just one postflop bet.

Jack Sinclair Happy to Get a Flag

Jaxon

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jack Sinclair was congratulated for making the final table despite him being low on chips most of the day. Sinclair has been on final tables in bigger spots, including at the 2017 WSOP Main Event where he took eighth place for $1.2 million, but shared he was excited to be at the final table in the High Roller.

"Getting on the final table means a lot," said Sinclair.

Although the money is nice, getting his ninth The Hendon Mob flag of the year appeared to be also important.

"I got the Romanian flag," Sinclair said with a smile. "That is very important to me. I have only had two stops this year where I haven't been able to get a flag. Although there is no reward for getting flags, perhaps their should be as it shows a true dedication to traveling for the grind."

While Sinclair's ninth flag of the year doesn't put him that close the the 12 flags earned this year thus far by Finland's Henri Ovaska, it does place him in second place on the leaderboard.
