Hand #122 - Brockington

Hurrah, I flopped quads!
Hurrah, I flopped quads!
Brockington makes it 200,000 from the button, and Hinkle goes all in.

Call.

Brockington: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Hinkle: {5-Spades} {5-Clubs}

"Five! Five! Five!" shouts the Hinkle Fan Club.

Board: er, {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and Hinkle's drawing dead right there. They probably shouldn't have shouted that. "Check the deck! That wasn't even exciting," says a Hinkle Fan Club member.

Hand #123 - Hinkle

A depleted Hinkle takes no respite, raising it to 125,000 from the button on the very next hand. Brockington makes the call.

{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Brockington checks to Hinkle who bets 150,000. Brockington folds.

Hand #126 - Daniel O'Brien Eliminated in Third Place ($198,132)

Hinkle raises to 130,000 from the button, and O'Brien makes it all in for 1.2 million from the small blind. Brockington folds, and Hinkle checks his hole cards again. He looks at O'Brien, and then down at the felt. And then he calls.

O'Brien: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Hinkle: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

"YES, COME ON DANNY!!!" shout O'Brien's supporters.

"SIIIIXXXXX!!!" shouts the Hinkle Fan Club. This time it works.

Flop: {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} -- "WOOOOOO!!!"

Turn: {5-Clubs} -- Hinkle is rubbing his hands and bouncing up and down

River: {K-Spades}

The Fan Club goes nuts, O'Brien takes third place money, and we are now heads up, Hinkle the chip leader.
