Blair Hinkle Gets Shown the Bluff

A player in middle position opened the pot for a raise and Blair Hinkle reraised from the small blind for 22,200 more. His opponent made the call.

The flop came out {10-Spades} {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} and Hinkle led out for 40,000. His opponent immediately moved all in for 198,000 more.

Hinkle was sent into the tank for a few moments and his opponent called the clock on him. Hinkle seemed both a little surprised and slightly annoyed, as he was not taking an obscene amount of time to act on his hand. Nevertheless, a floorperson is called over and Hinkle is given a 60-second countdown.

With ten seconds left to go, Hinkle released his hand. His opponent then slammed his {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} down to the felt, saying in an Irish accent, "That's how we do it in Ireland, boys!"

Blair Hinkle - 365,000
