Hinkle Crippled

Blair Hinkle tripled no more than ten minutes ago, and now he is down to less than a thousand chips.

Hinkle was sitting in the small blind, and a player on the button opened the pot for standard raise. Hinkle three-bet to 1,300, his opponent four-bet to around 3,000, and Hinkle called.

The flop came down {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}, and Hinkle checked to his opponent who fired 2,700. Hinkle check-jammed for around 10,000, and his opponent snapped it off.

Opponent: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Hinkle: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Hinkle needed an ace or a king, but received neither as the board ran {6-Hearts}, {9-Spades}.
