Hand #70 - Steicke

Raised to 105,000 by Hinkle, O'Brien makes the call, only for Steicke to reraise all in for just over a million in chips!

As Hinkle sidesteps out of the way, O'Brien smiles, before following suit and mucking his hand as well.

Hand #69 - Brockington

Hinkle raises it up to 100,000. O'Brien folds, but Brockington places his feline ornament on his cards and rests his face in his hands before pushing all in for another 285,000.

Hinkle calls!

Hinkle = {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Brockington = {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Flop = {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Turn = {2-Clubs}

River = {J-Diamonds}

As Hinkle's fans sigh in disappointment and return to their seats, Brockington scoops in a nice pot for a much-needed double through.

Hand #66 - O'Brien

A raise of 110,000 from O'Brien is enough to pick up the next hand.

"Have some beers!" exclaims O'Brien trying to liven a recently muted crowd. "They're on me."

I raised my paw, but I don't think he noticed.

Hand #65 - O'Brien

O'Brien limps in on the small blind and big blind Brockington checks.

Flop: {5-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

O'Brien bets out 85,000, and Brockington calls, after a slight pause.

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

Now O'Brien bets out 225,000. Brockington folds, and O'Brien takes the pot.

Hand #63 - Hinkle

It folds around to Steicke in the small blind and he just limps. Continuing in the same no-mercy vein, Hinkle raises it up another 125,000 from the big blind, and Steicke folds.

Hand #62 - Steicke

Brockington raises it up to 110,000 and Steicke calls.

With the two players seeing a {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, Brockington checks and Steicke, as calculated and composed as ever, bets 175,000 after a brief pause. In contrast, Brockington folds with the velocity of a jet-propelled whippet and Steicke takes one down.
