Hand #33 - Chris Bjorin Eliminated in Sixth Place ($106,404)

not bjorin again

Hinkle sticks in another preflop raise, this time to 65,000.

But wait, Bjorin pushes all in!

It's 113,000 total.

Hinkle doesn't seem keen, but makes the call.

Hinkle = {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Bjorin = {Q-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Flop = {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

"Ace of diamonds!" demand the Hinkle rail.

Turn {3-Hearts}

"You've got a pair!" they continue.

River = {5-Diamonds}

No joy for Bjorin who exits in sixth after a plucky performance that would have put Rocky Balboa to shame.
