Sinclair Don't Care

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A player on the button raised to 18,000. The small blind moved all in for 40,000. Michael Sinclair was in the big blind and four-bet to 110,000, the button folded.

Sinclair tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and the small blind showed {k-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Sinclair took it down while a couple players commented on how he reraised with king-ten. Sinclair paid no attention and is right near the 500,000 chip mark.

Dan Chio Gets an Accidental Gift

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Dan Chio was in early position and had moved all in for 79,000. Another player on the button verbalised a raise and then put in 22,000. The dealer then stopped the action and notified the button that there was an all-in. Due to verbally stating raise, he was required to min-raise the amount of the all-in. The player accepted his mistake and that he hadn't noticed the all-in and put in enough to min-raise. The players left to act behind the button both folded.

The button then said to Chio, "I think you just got a gift, I have six-high."

Chio tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and Chio's two pair held on versus the gutshot draw the button player flopped.
