Blair Hinkle Continues to Climb

On a flop of {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}, Blair Hinkle led out for 6,000 and got two callers. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Hinkle bet 22,000 and the cutoff called all in.

"It's been fun boys!" he said as he tossed in his last 10,000, seemingly knowing he was beat.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}. The cutoff's hand was indeed second-best-- two pair with {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} to Hinkle's set of jacks. Hinkle dragged the 48,000 chip pot, his stack shooting up to 75,000.
