That Sinc-ing Feeling

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

An unorthodox move just almost won Hüsnü Sincar a lot of chips but instead, he's gotten pretty unlucky to drop to about 260,000.

Sincar had called Ergenyi Taranuk's raise preflop before open-shoving the {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop, despite there only being around 10,000 in the pot and Taranuk having about 70,000 behind.

Taranuk called with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} but found to his astonishment that Sincar held {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a set of eights. No matter, the Russian hit running {7-Diamonds} and {6-Diamonds} to backdoor into a flush and double up to around 160,000.
