Hinkle's Set Scores a Knockout

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught the action between Blair Hinkle and his opponent on the turn with the board reading {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Hinkle checked to his opponent, who bet 775. Hinkle then check-raised to 2075, and his opponent shoved all in for just a bit more. Hinkle called, and showed {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a turned set. His opponent showed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw. The river came the {a-Clubs}, and Hinkle scooped the pot to get up to 17,000.
