Cintula Shows Spataru the Goods

David Salituro

Niveau 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andrej Cintula raised to 18,000 on the button before Andrei Spataru three-bet to 42,000 in the small blind.

Cintula called and they went heads-up to the 2♣J♣2♠ flop. Spataru continued for 25,000 and Cintula called.

The turn came the 2♥ and Spataru bet another 45,000. Cintula took his time but called again to see the J♠ river.

Spataru slowed down and checked as Cintula fired out 86,000. Spataru quickly mucked.

"Did you have the jack," tablemate Ramzi Zuraikat asked Cintula as Cintula flashed a smile before showing the 2♦ for quads.

"That jack saved me," Spataru said, breathing a sigh of relief as he leaned back in his seat.

"That's a good loss. First time today quads that I've seen," Zuraikat added.
