Hinkle Gambles but Bricks

On a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} a player in the big blind fired a bet of 5,000 with Blair Hinkle making the call.

The turn fell the {6-Diamonds} and the big blind open-shipped it all in for a total of 29,875 to send Hinkle into the tank.

He eventually decided to gamble for the big pot and made the call with {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair and straight draw, but he would need to improve against his opponent's {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The river landed the {7-Hearts} and Hinkle doubles up his opponent but is still in fine shape with 116,000 chips.
