Hand #88 -

First hand back from the break. James Akenhead has the button in Seat 9. Action folds to Grant Hinkle in the small blind, who raises to 325,000. Mike Ngo reraises all in for 1.6 million. Hinkle thinks for about thirty seconds and then calmly says "Call." Here we go.

Hinkle: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Ngo: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

The flop is no help to either player. {3-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}.

Ngo's supporters have definitely become the most vocal here in the Milwaukee's Best Light All-In Lounge, as they are shouting up a storm in favor of Ngo.

The turn is the {8-Diamonds}. Hinkle needs a jack on the river...

...and he gets it! A roar goes up from the crowd as the {J-Diamonds} hits the river. Ngo is stunned, but there's no denying that he is eliminated in 5th place. He collects $268,154.
