[user4144]

Hinkle sticks in another preflop raise, this time to 65,000.

But wait, Bjorin pushes all in!

It's 113,000 total.

Hinkle doesn't seem keen, but makes the call.

Hinkle = {A-Clubs}

Bjorin =

Flop =

"Ace of diamonds!" demand the Hinkle rail.

Turn {3-Hearts}

"You've got a pair!" they continue.

River = {5-Diamonds}

No joy for Bjorin who exits in sixth after a plucky performance that would have put Rocky Balboa to shame.
