Hinkle Chips Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board, Blair Hinkle bet 1,450 into his lone opponent. The player in position made the call and the two players saw the {j-Hearts} hit the turn.

Hinkle checked this time and his opponent decided to fire 3,850. Hinkle didn't take too much time making the call and his opponent could only show {j-Spades}{8-Spades}. Hinkle tabled {q-Spades}{8-Clubs} and used that pot to chip up to 31,000.
