Hinkle’s Check-Raise Gets Through
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Blair Hinkle was in the big blind and facing action on a 9♥8♦3♠ board.
After Hinkle checked in the big blind, a player under the gun led out with 1,600 and was called by a player in middle position and the player on the button.
Hinkle then check-raised to 6,000, which got two players to fold.
The button, however, took his time to study the board. He took a few moments before peeking down at his cards, and then mucked his hand to give Hinkle the hand and much-needed chips as play enters Level 4.
