Sincere Puts Hoenig in the Blender

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Ryan Hoenig limped from the button, Paul Sincere limped behind from the small blind and Igor Zektser checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came KQ5 and Sincere fired a pot-sized 1,600,000 bet. Only Hoenig called.

Sincere announced pot on the 8 turn, betting 4,800,000. Hoenig went into the tank.

"Paul, Paul Paul..." Hoenig said as he pondered his decision

"What do you have over there?" Sincere replied. Hoenig said nothing.

"I know exactly what you have because I have the rest of it" Sincere continued.

Another minute went by as Hoenig agonized over the decision. "We were supposed to get heads-up together" Hoenig joked to his friend.

Another minute went by before Hoenig mucked. Sincere did not show, but told Hoenig that he had top two pair and the second-nut flush draw.

Hoenig mentioned that he had folded a set and was in pretty good shape against Sincere's hand as Sincere dragged in the pot.
