Good Start for Newhizzle, Bad Start for Hinkle
A few tables over, Hinkle took down a small pot preflop, but it was the table talk that caught our attention. Hinkle started the day with 85,800 chips. Sitting with the button, he reraised Samuel Woo preflop from 3,000 to 8,000. Once action folded around, Woo asked for a count.
"After I lost the last two pots, about 55,000," said Hinkle. He won that pot, but even with 60,000, has last more than a quarter of his stack in the first thirty minutes.
