Hand #87 - Steicke

It folds to small blind Steicke, who raises to 150,000. Hinkle looks unimpressed, but considers it for some time and then calls.

Flop: {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}

Steicke, after a long pause, bets out 200,000. Hinkle calls.

Turn: {Q-Hearts}

Now Steicke really goes into the tank. Eventually, some minutes later, he announces all in. Hinkle folds.

Hand #85 - O'Brien

It folds to O'Brien in the small blind, who peers over to see how much Brockington has left. He just calls. Brockington checks.

Flop: {8-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

O'Brien bets out a minimum 50,000, and takes it down there.

Sick Dog

Sick Dog Akenhead
Sick Dog Akenhead
Some of Hinkle's high-volume railers have kindly explained to us the 'sick dog' thing. Hinkle's brother Grant was heads up for his bracelet last week against James Akenhead, whose nickname is Sick Dog. Blair's middle name is James too, and they are reliving the Hinkle victory in this manner. And loudly.

Hand #83 - Hinkle

O'Brien raises to 110,000 utg, and Brockington folds on the button. Steicke dwells up on the small blind, but passes; big blind Hinkle, however, announces all in, and O'Brien quickly folds.
