Good Start for Newhizzle, Bad Start for Hinkle

It's competing fortunes for Mark Newhouse and Grant Hinkle. Newhouse, seated at Table 176, recently raised his button to 3,500 and was called by big blind Peter Mavro. Mavro check-called another 3,700 from Newhouse on a flop of {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. When the turn paired deuces, {2-Hearts}, Mavro checked again and then folded to a bet of 10,500 from Newhouse.

A few tables over, Hinkle took down a small pot preflop, but it was the table talk that caught our attention. Hinkle started the day with 85,800 chips. Sitting with the button, he reraised Samuel Woo preflop from 3,000 to 8,000. Once action folded around, Woo asked for a count.

"After I lost the last two pots, about 55,000," said Hinkle. He won that pot, but even with 60,000, has last more than a quarter of his stack in the first thirty minutes.
