Grant Hinkle raised to 3,200 from under the gun, and was called by the cutoff, as well as both of the blinds.
Action checked to Hinkle on a ![]()
![]()
flop, and he bet 8,000. The cutoff raised to 20,000, and action folded back to Hinkle. The next minute ticked off the clock with the cutoff staring intently at Hinkle, while Hinkle took his time, pulling out the calling chips needed, but shuffling them in place for a few moments, before finally placing them in the pot.
Hinkle checked the
turn, and the cutoff jammed for around 20,000. Hinkle quickly called.
Opponent: ![]()
![]()
Grant Hinkle: ![]()
![]()
Hinkle's turned trip sevens sent the cutoff packing when the
river failed to deliver one of the last two queens in the deck.
