Hinkle Needs Some Help

Blair Hinkle's stack as been going in the opposite direction that he would like today, now sitting with just over 20,000 in chips. We recently watched Hinkle lose a hand that played out like this.

Hinkle was in early position when he raised it up to 1,200. Only the player in the big blind would call. The dealer flipped over a {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop and Hinkle bet 1,500 after it was checked over to him. A call would see an {8-Hearts} land on the turn and again it was checked to Hinkle, who bet 3,700. Another call would see a {a-Diamonds} complete the board on the river.

When Hinkle's opponent checked here, Hinkle would fire another bullet, making it 5,000 to go. It was quickly raised to 20,000 here and the action was back to Hinkle. He thought for quite some time, before shrugging and letting go of his hand.
