Hinkle Takes The Tournament Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A player raised to 30,000 in the hijack and in the big blind, Blair Hinkle three-bet to 105,000 which the hijack called.
The flop came out A♥A♣3♥ and Hinkle continued for 75,000 on the flop which the hijack called.
Hinkle checked the 10♦ turn where the hijack sized up to 90,000 and Hinkle called.
On the 2♥ river, Hinkle checked once more and the hijack bet 140,000, leaving himself 90,000 behind. Hinkle thought about it for a little bit of time before moving all in. His opponent shook his head and said "nice hand Blair," before tossing his hand into the muck.
