Jack Sinclair
Jack Sinclair

Although Jack Sinclair is travelling around the globe a lot, the island of Malta is technically the place he calls home. Sinclair has jumped in late on Day 1b to play this event on home soil.

Protégé of German star Philipp Gruissem, Sinclair broke through in 2017 and recently broke the $2M mark in lifetime earnings. His biggest accomplishment to date is an 8th place in the 2017 WSOP Main Event, for a payday of $1,200,000.

If you want to read more about Sinclair's whirlwind year, check out PokerNews' recent interview with one of UK's rising stars.

Muru Doubles; Wakuluk Shoves; Moolhuizen Overbets; Janssens Short

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Kristjan Muru was all in with {K-}{10-} open and was paid off by Slawomir Szulecki with {K-}{9-} on a {10-}{K-}{7-}{9-}{Q-} board.

At another table, Mateusz Moolhuizen showed a creative line by betting 19,000 into an 8,000 pot on a {3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. His opponent gave it up and Moolhuizen moved up to 45,000.

On table 6, Pawel Wakuluk four-bet shoved 24,700 from middle position after Thomas Lind had three-bet to 3,800 on the button. Lind folded quickly and Wakuluk chipped up.

Jordy "MojoOnPC" Janssens is one of the Esporters playing today and the popular Belgian arrived with a fashionably late start. It's not his day yet, as Janssens has dropped down to 8,500. His countryman Matthias De Meulder is doing better and is up to 70,000.
