Hand #134 - Mark Brockington Eliminated in Second Place ($326,552)

Hinkle raises the button again, to 155,000. Brockington, who has been bleeding away blinds up until now, makes it 510,000. Hinkle considers it for a moment, before announcing that he's all in. Call.

Brockington:
Hinkle:

Once more, the Hinkle Fan Club seem to be chanting some kind of satanic mantra: "SIX! SIX! SIX!"

It works.

Flop: -- Hinkle flops the devil's own hand for a second time.

Turn: -- and Brockington is now drawing dead.

The irrelevant river:

Meaning that Blair becomes the second Hinkle to win a bracelet this WSOP.
