Most Level 1 Fun Currently at Table 513
In an Amazon Room notable for its current rather intense chip-riffling quiet, Blair Hinkle found himself in Seat 5 at the most mirthful table of Day 1d so far. Donald Grant, Thomas Conlin and Hinkle are sat in a row and seem to be laughing their way through Level 1. There are pauses, when chips fly into pots, however; just now Hinkle opened in mid position to 600, called by Nakia Davis in position and small blind Nathan Schleifer.
The 
flop was checked round, bringing the 
on the turn. Now Hinkle led out for 1,000, raised to 2,000 by Davis. He made the call and the 
fell on the river. Hinkle checked to Davis, who quickly bet 3,000. Hinkle folded and the banter continued, this time at the expense of Dustin Kern who expressed surprise at his free drink.
“You’re playing a $500 tournament and you get excited about a free Redbull?”
“You know, you don’t expect it in tournaments…”
“I’m so happy for you!”
