Hinkle Finds Naught but Bricks

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We found Blair Hinkle involved in a raising war postflop. His opponent had fired 1,300 on the {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, and Hinkle made it 2,600 on the button. His opponent came back with a three-bet to around 5,000, and Hinkle thought for about 30 seconds before softly telling the dealer he was all in. His opponent made the call.

Hinkle: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Hinkle's opponent evidently wasn't buying the story Hinkle was selling, as he had called without so much as top pair. Hinkle's hand was plenty live, but the {10-Clubs} and {q-Clubs} finished out the board, and Hinkle was forced to double his opponent up.
