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 #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 #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 #90 - Brockington

It folds around to Brockington, who shoves from the small blind. Big blind Steicke calls uncharacteristically quickly.

Brockington {A-Spades} {6-Clubs}
Steicke: {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Board: {8-Spades} {10-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

Brockington doubles up.
