Cada's Kings Cracked, Hinkle Triples

Cada early on Day 1
Cada early on Day 1

2009 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Joe Cada opened to 550 from under the gun, a player on the button called, and Blair Hinkle moved all in for 3,800 from the small blind. Cada re-shoved for 21,000, and the third opponent called all in for 9,975.

Cada: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Hinkle: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Cada was in great shape to record a double knockout, until the flop came down {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. The turn was a meaningless {10-Clubs}, but the {4-Spades} spiked on the river, giving Hinkle the best hand with a set of fours!

Cada was the only loser in the hand, while Hinkle more than tripled his stack.
