Whittling Waite Down
Level 32
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
There haven't been any crazy hands as of late, but slowly but surely Blair Hinkle is whittling Brendan Waite down by swiping blinds here in there.
In a recent hand, Hinkle opened for 165,000 on the button only to have Waite three-bet to 420,000 from the big blind. Not to be outdone, Hinkle moved all in and put the pressure on Waite, who had 2.25 behind. The local pro, who won a ring here at Council Bluffs back in 2010, thought for nearly three minutes before flashing the 
and folding.
