Hinkle's Stack Swelling
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We found Grant Hinkle involved in a big-blind-versus-button battle against the player in Seat 7. Hinkle, in the big blind, had fired 32,000 on a 
board. His opponent silently pointed to the bet to get a count, then slid in a call. The river was the 
and Hinkle bet 50,000. The player on the button immediately whispered, "Call." Hinkle showed 
for a turned straight, and his opponent rolled over 
to reveal his misfortune.
Hinkle, who started the day with 78,000 chips, has nearly quintupled his stack.
