Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Grant Hinkle
Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle was in the hijack and he and a cutoff opponent each put in 7,500 on a {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop, though we didn't see who the aggressor was. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Hinkle checked. His opponent bet 9,500 and Hinkle shoved all in for about 30,000 more effective. That was enough to earn him the pot.
