Hand #96 - Hinkle

Hinkle makes it 175,000 from the small blind, and O'Brien folds in the big. Astounding celebration from the Hinkle support camp, considering that Hinkle only takes the blinds and antes.

Steicke tries to limp from the small blind, but Hinkle is having none of it and jacks it up to 150,000 more.

You can't push Steicke around though, as he announces all in to take down consecutive pots.
