Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante

. A player had a bet of 5,100 in front of him and Hinkle was thinking about his decision. Eventually, he raised to 11,500. The player thought about it for a bit before eventually making the call.
The river was the 
and Hinkle decided to lead out for 15,000. Very quickly the other player called. Hinkle tabled 
for top pair and it looked like he would win the pot, but after a few seconds of fumbling with his cards the other player was able to turn up his 
for a turned straight. That was good enough to give him the pot as Hinkle dropped below the starting stack.
