Hinkle Gets Paid to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 6♥Q♠8♦6♦, a player in the cutoff bet 9,000 before Blair Hinkle moved all in for 31,300 in middle position. His opponent tanked for several minutes and eventually called to put Hinkle at risk.
Hinkle showed 7♠6♠ for trips, while his opponent had just A♣J♦ for ace-high. The river was the K♦, and Hinkle doubled up.
"I couldn't put you on a hand there," his opponent said as he handed over the pot.
