Hinkle Starting Well Due to Omelet


Many poker players have their rituals and superstitions, and for Blair Hinkle, food sometimes plays a role in his routine. If he runs well after eating a particular meal, he’ll often stick with it until the luck runs out. This year, it was the meat lovers' omelet at Alexxa's in Paris that powered him to victory.
Hinkle captured the title in this very event in 2008. While it’s his aggressive and confident style of play that truly fuels his success, even the best players don’t mind having a lucky charm or two.
After this tournament, Hinkle will be heading home for a short break before returning to play in two of his favorite World Series of Poker events: the Millionaire Maker and the Monster Stack. And if history—and omelets—are any indicator, we haven’t seen the last of him this summer.
A look through his Hendon Mob profile reveals a long list of first-place finishes, and with this latest win, Hinkle has proven once again that he's a force to be reckoned with at the WSOP.
