Aschacher Tangles with Hinkle in Consecutive Hands
Ernst Aschacher has Blair Hinkle to his immediate left, but that's not stopping him from bumping heads with the WSOP bracelet winner.
During one hand, Aschacher limped in late position, but then promptly faced Hinkle’s 1,200 raise on the button. The blinds called, as did Ashacher.
The dealer fanned J♥2♣5♥ on the flop, resulting in checks from the players in front of Hinkle, who bet 1,600. Hinkle’s action forced the blinds out of the hand, but Ashacher called.
The turn showed A♣, drawing checks from both players. The 9♥ hit the turn and Aschacher checked. Hinkle bet 3,200, but then Aschacher check-raised, which forced Hinkle to promptly fold and the dealer pushed the pot to Aschacher.
On the very next hand, the two mixed it up again.
The board showed 10♦5♥5♣J♠4♥ and the two players were heads up. Aschacher bet after Hinkle checked out of the small blind, and took down the pot.
