Sincere Makes a Big Fold
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Paul Sincere limped in from the button and Igor Zektser checked from the big blind.
The flop came 2♦5♠8♠ and both players checked leading to the 7♠ turn. Zektser bet 1,00,000 and Sincere clicked it to 2,000,000. Zektser raised to 6,500,000 and Sincere went into the tank.
"Nut-flush?" Sincere asked his opponent, who remained stoic.
"It's the only hand that beats me" Sincere continued. "So Sick. I know you don't have the straight flush. You could just be betting your low, but that's not really your style".
After another minute or two of deliberation Sincere folded, showing the K♠6♠ as he did so, before Zektser took the pot.
