Blair Hinkle Eliminated

Blair Hinkle will have to wait til next time around to try for his second bracelet this summer as he's just been eliminated from the tournament.

Nick Binger opened the pot with a raise to 1,800 and Hinkle re-popped it to 5,100. Binger then raised enough to put Hinkle all in and Hinkle made the call tabling a pocket pair of tens; Binger revealed {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}.

The {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {K-Hearts} flop was a safe one for Hinkle's tens, but the {A-Hearts} that fell on the turn tilted the scales in favor of Binger. An inconsequential {3-Diamonds} on fifth street locked things up for Binger and Hinkle was sent to the rail.

Binger stacked up ~44,000 in chips after the hand.
