Hand #46 - O'Brien

[user46392]
[user46392]
O'Brien makes it 90,000 from the button, and small blind Brockington calls.

{2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {7-Spades}

Brockington checks to O'Brien, who bets 110,000. With a slight incline of his head, Brockington lays it down.

Hand #45 - Hinkle

[user4144]
[user4144]
With just the fab four remaining, Steicke raises it up to 90,000 and Hinkle reraises to 220,000.

Back to Steicke, who duly makes the call.

{K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

First to act, Steicke checks, as does Hinkle.

Turn = {3-Hearts}

Steicke checks again, but not Hinkle, this time betting for 200,000.

Steicke calls.

River = {2-Hearts}

A check from Steicke leads to a bet of 300,000 from Hinkle.

Steicke checks his cards, scratches his forehead and makes the call.

Hinkle shows {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Steicke mucks, much to the delight of the Hinkle fan base on the rail.

Hand #44 - O'Brien

[user46392]
[user46392]
Steicke button-raises to 90,000. Small blind Hinkle folds, but big blind O'Brien reraises very nearly all in for 302,000 total - he actually leaves himself 1,000 behind. But Steicke calls and they throw O'Brien's last chip in anyway.

Steicke: {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds}
O'Brien: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

Board:{6-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades}

O'Brien doubles up to 637,000.

Hand #41 - Dustin Dirksen Eliminated in Fifth Place ($135,757)

Dirksen pushes all in under the gun for 330,000. Hinkle sizes him up before announcing all in himself.

Dirsken = {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Hinkle = {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Flop = {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Hinkle smiles.

Turn = {8-Diamonds}

The crowd go crazy!

River = {6-Spades}

No miracle on the river and Dirksen is out, shaking the hands of the remaining players and leaving to a nice round of applause.

Hand #38 - Steicke

[user46392]
[user46392]
It folds to Dirksen on the small blind, who limps. Steicke checks.

Flop: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Dirksen bets out 50,000, and Steicke makes the call.

Turn: {Q-Clubs}

Now Dirksen makes it 150,000 to go. Steicke pauses for a moment, before calling.

River: {A-Diamonds}

They both check, and Steicke takes it with another four to make two pair.
