Nine-to-Five Job Haunts Sinclair

Martin Alcaide raised and was called by both players in the blinds including Long Nguyen and Jack Sinclair, the latter very short-stacked. On the K♥9♦2♦ flop, it checked to Alcaide and he bet 11,000 for Nguyen to call and Sinclair to fold.

The J♠ turn saw Nguyen check and then fold when Alcaide bet 50,000.

One hand later, Nguyen raised the button to 10,000 and then called when Sinclair jammed 21,000 only from the small blind.

Jack Sinclair: 8♣8♠ All in
Long Nguyen: 9♣5♥

"One over card," Nguyen laughed when the cards were revealed and he improved right away on the 9♥6♦2♥ flop. The 2♦ turn and 6♠ river were blanks and that was it for Sinclair.

"Nine five?" Daniel Marin asked his table neighbour and Nguyen only smirked.
