Hinkle Busts

Action folded to Brian Ray on the button and he opened to 3,200. After the player in the small blind folded, Grant Hinkle shoved from the big blind for 29,100. Ray mulled it over for a bit before calling with {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Hinkle was caught making a move with {K-Spades}{2-Clubs} and was unable to catch up when the board rolled out {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Berkey Doubles

After a player opened to 2,900, Matt Berkey took the opportunity to move all in for 13,200. Berkey's opponent called and the hands were turned up:

Berkey: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Berkey fell behind on the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and would need to pair up to stay alive in the tournament. The {2-Hearts} on fourth street did not do it but the {A-Hearts} peeled off on the river and he was able to score a double up to roughly 27,000 in chips.
