Last Year's Runner-Up Gets Greedy

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Blair Hinkle
Blair Hinkle

As recounted by the table, Rodney Spriggs opened to 9,000 and last year's runner-up Blair Hinkle three-bet to 28,000 with just a few chips behind. Spriggs responded with a four-bet jam and Hinkle called it off.

Blair Hinkle: JxJx All in
Rodney Spriggs: AxJx

A flop of KxQxXx gave Spriggs plenty of hope of cracking jacks, but a brick runout secured a double for Hinkle.

"He was greedy," remarked Spriggs in a line that has been repeated throughout the flight.
