Hinkle Doubles Up Opponent

A player opened the betting by raising to 300 from late position. Blair Hinkle made the call from the button and the two players were off to see a flop.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Hinkle's opponent continued out for 250 and Hinkle made the call. The turn brought the {2-Spades} and this time his opponent slowed down, checking the action. Hinkle fired out a bet of 600 and his opponent moved all in, making it 2025 total. Hinkle made the call and the cards were turned up:

Hinkle: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Hinkle was looking for a jack or a spade on the river, but did not get his wish as the {9-Clubs} fell. He took a small hit to his stack and his opponent was able to double up.
