Hand #126 - Daniel O'Brien Eliminated in Third Place ($198,132)

Hinkle raises to 130,000 from the button, and O'Brien makes it all in for 1.2 million from the small blind. Brockington folds, and Hinkle checks his hole cards again. He looks at O'Brien, and then down at the felt. And then he calls.

O'Brien: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Hinkle: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

"YES, COME ON DANNY!!!" shout O'Brien's supporters.

"SIIIIXXXXX!!!" shouts the Hinkle Fan Club. This time it works.

Flop: {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} -- "WOOOOOO!!!"

Turn: {5-Clubs} -- Hinkle is rubbing his hands and bouncing up and down

River: {K-Spades}

The Fan Club goes nuts, O'Brien takes third place money, and we are now heads up, Hinkle the chip leader.
