Grant Hinkle already had a long list of poker accomplishments: a WSOP Gold Bracelet, over $1.7 million in live tournament earnings, and a WSOP Circuit Main Event title. Last year, he added another accolade to that list after winning the $800 Main Event at the 2025 Oklahoma State Championship of Poker.
Hinkle took home $55,249 for his efforts, the fourth biggest live score of his career. The Kansas City native only decided to play the event on a whim, but what a decision it turned out to be.
The Oklahoma State Poker Championship returned to Hard Rock Casino Tulsa for the first time since 2019, and it featured a packed schedule of 21 trophy events, while all eyes were on this prestigious title. A total of 417 entries were tallied for the event to generate a prize pool of $291,900.
Eventually, it was Hinkle who held on the chips after lengthy heads-up match with Terry Harrell and an even longer three-handed battle with Anthony Finley.
