Hinkle Hits Set, Gets Full Value

On a flop of {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} Blair Hinkle led out for 700 and the button called. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and Hinkle tossed out another 2,000. The button called again. The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Hinkle fired a third bullet for 4,500 and the button called.

Hinkle turned up {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} for a set of nines and raked in the 15,000 pot. He's now up to 39,000.

Blair Hinkle, of course is one half of the Hinkle brothers. Both he and his brother Grant won bracelets in NLHE preliminary events.
