George Feels the Wrath of the Stinger

Level 20

Kyle Hinnerichs: A♣2♠4♣/K♦6♦5♣9♠
Chris George (NY): 7♣2♣6♠/J♣5♥4♦Q♦

Kyle Hinnerichs, also known to his tablemates as "The Stinger", completed with a King and received a call from Chris George.

On fourth and fifth streets Hinnerichs bet and was called by George. Both players checked sixth street.

On seventh street Hinnerichs bet once more and was called.

George had a 7 low but Hinnerichs had a better low with a six. Perhaps more surpisingly, Hinnerichs' ace-high was good for the other half and he was pushed a significant pot as a result.
