Hinkle Doubles Through Darland
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Jason Darland raised to 350,000 in the small blind and Blair Hinkle defended his big blind.
The flop came out K♥4♣5♠ and Hinkle called a bet of 425,000 from Darland.
On the J♠ turn, Darland moved all in for 1,075,000 effective and Hinkle snap called.
Blair Hinkle: K♦4♥
Jason Darland: 9♦10♣
Hinkle had flopped top two and just needed to fade a queen that would make Darland's gutshot straight. The river 3♣ changed nothing about the rankings of the hands and Hinkle found a double through the chip leader.
