It's an early end to Brandon Blake's day. From under the gun, he raised to 55,000. Grant Hinkle, who had tangled with Blake just a few hands ago, called from the button.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} flop. When the turn came {3-Clubs}, Blake bet 200,000. Hinkle moved all in and Blake instantly called and table pocket fives for a set of fives. Hinkle turned his hand over to reveal pocket sixes for a set of sixes: set over set on the flop. The miracle one-outer didn't hit the river and Blake was eliminated. His payday is $30,569.
