Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

He faces felony charges of intent to commit murder and for being a habitual offender. In 2011, he pled guilty to larceny in a building and third-degree home invasion.

Blair Hinkle raised to 40,000 first to act and Aaron Thivyanathan defended the big blind. The flop came J59 and both players checked.

The turn was the 3 and Thivyanathan bet 50,000, which Hinkle called. On the Q river, Thivyanathan quietly shoved the rest of his stack in for about 220,000. Hinkle talked to himself for a few seconds and called.

Aaron Thivyanathan: 87
Blair Hinkle: AQ

Hinkle's top pair was good to knock out Thivyanathan.

Elsewhere Matthias Auer and Eugene Pleyo took early exits and were knocked out.
