Hand #95 - Steicke

Steicke tries to limp from the small blind, but Hinkle is having none of it and jacks it up to 150,000 more.

You can't push Steicke around though, as he announces all in to take down consecutive pots.

Hand #96 - Hinkle

Hinkle makes it 175,000 from the small blind, and O'Brien folds in the big. Astounding celebration from the Hinkle support camp, considering that Hinkle only takes the blinds and antes.

Hand #97 - O'Brien

As the gold bracelets sparkle in the background, the action folds round to Daniel O'Brien who duly makes up the small blind. Brockington checks.

{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Both players check.

Turn = {4-Diamonds}

O'Brien thinks checks are for the bank and wins the pot with a small bet.

Hand #102 - David Steicke Eliminated in Fourth Place ($166,333)

Hinkle raises to 100,000 utg, and O'Brien calls from the button. Brockington also calls in the small blind, and Steicke can't help but get in on the action too.

Flop: {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

Brockington checks to Steicke, who announces all in. And behind him, Hinkle announces all in as well!

Hinkle: {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}
Steicke: {10-Clubs} {2-Spades}

"Six! Six!" chant the Hinkle railers.

Turn: {5-Hearts}

"Red! Red!" the Hinkle chorus line goes.

River: {10-Diamonds}

"WOOOO!" followed by some vaguely dog-like barking.

Meaning that Steicke makes no flush, and we are down to three as Steicke makes his dignified exit.
