Hand #81 - O'Brien

[user46392]
[user46392]
Steicke and Hinkle pass, leaving O'Brien to dwell up for a while on the small blind and then raise to 475,000 -- roughly Brockington's remaining stack. Brockington folds, and O'Brien takes the blinds and antes.

Hand #80 - Steicke

[user4144]
[user4144]
Steicke raises to 120,000 from the button. Hinkle, resplendent in his snazzy but non-camera friendly hoody, folds the small blind, but O'Brien makes the call from the big.

{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Spades}

O'Brien's eyes alternate between stack and felt as he pops out a bet 160,000.

Steicke, meanwhile, leans forward in his chair and starts counting out a segment of his stack before finally clicking the 'all in' button.

O'Brien doesn't look too happy, his expression suggesting a forthcoming fold.

O'Brien folds.

Hand #79 - Hinkle

[user46392]
[user46392]
Steicke raises to 120,000 in the small blind; his big blind opponent Hinkle calls him.

Flop: {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Steicke bets out 150,000, only for Hinkle to raise him another 150,000. Steicke lays it down, and Hinkle takes the pot, to a chorus of assortedly "Wooo!" -- "Yeah, sick dog!" -- "Go Blair!" -- and a single lonely cry of "We're not obnoxious!" right at at the end.

Hand #78 - Steicke

[user4144]
[user4144]
Hinkle, who has won a third of the hands played today, passes, as does O'Brien, but Brockington isn't in folding mood, raising it up to 110,000 from the small blind. Steicke calls.

{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

After Brockington checks, Steicke puts out a bet of 185,000 and takes down the pot.

Hand #77 - Hinkle

[user46392]
[user46392]
Hinkle raises to 80,000 from the button, and he gets a call from O'Brien in the small blind

Flop: {4-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}

O'Brien checks to Hinkle, who bets 115,000. O'Brien folds, and Hinkle takes another down.

Hand #76 - Hinkle

[user4144]
[user4144]
After a fast paced start that would give a James Bond flick a run for its money, the pace has slowed down considerably, many players taking the blinds preflop and uncontested.

The latest player to do this was Hinkle, who scooped up the blinds and antes on hand 76.

Hand #75 - Steicke

[user46392]
[user46392]
O'Brien and Brockington both fold, leaving Steicke in the small blind to raise to 120,000. Hinkle isn't that attached to his big blind, it seems, and passes.

Hand #73 - O'Brien

[user46392]
[user46392]
Hinkle raises from the button -- a total bet of 105,000. Small blind O'Brien dwells for an incredibly long time, before reraising to 385,000. Now it's big blind Brockington's turn to dwell up (again, his face entirely obscured), but he folds. Back round to Hinkle, who folds too.

Some O'Brien railers have appeared, and applaud him as he rakes in the pot.
