Blair Hinkle Eliminated in 24th Place ($13,297)

Blair Hinkle - 24th place
Blair Hinkle - 24th place

We picked this one up on the flop at which point there was about 45,000 in the middle, with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} showing in the center. Acting first Niel Mittelman pushed out a bet of 25,000, and after a pause Blair Hinkle called. The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and Mittelman again led with a bet, this time for 50,000.

Hinkle sat quietly for close to a minute, then announced he was raising all in for around 250,000 more. Mittelman quickly called, tabling {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} for top set of aces. Hinkle had {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for two pair, meaning the {9-Spades} river was no matter.

Mazin Khoury - 25th place
Mazin Khoury - 25th place

Blair Hinkle opened to 20,000 from the hijack position and was re-raised by Thomas Conway from the cutoff. It was folded around to Mazin Khoury in the small blind and he went all in for his last 165,000. Action folded back around to Conway, who snap-called to put Khoury at risk.

Khoury: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Conway: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, giving Conway a winning straight on the river and sending Khoury to the rail.

Conway is our current chip leader with 1,060,000.

Adam Latimer - 26th place
Adam Latimer - 26th place

Jacob Schindler opened to 20,000 from under-the-gun and action folded around to Adam Latimer on the button, who went all in for his last 180,000. Directly behind him, Nelson Robinson announced he was all in and everyone else got out of the way.

Robinson: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Latimer: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, leaving Robinson with nines-full of deuces and eliminating Latimer.

Robinson is up to 750,000.
