Dream Spot for Hinkle

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joseph Baghdalian raised to 250,000 in the cutoff with JJ, Steven Hinkle three-bet in the small blind to 680,000 holding A10, and Aaron Gao cold called in the big blind with 44. Baghdalian called as well.

The flop came AQA and it checked to Baghdalian, who bet 400,000. Hinkle called and Gao called for his last 70,000.

Hinkle and Baghdalian checked the 6 turn, bringing the 10 river. Hinkle bet 880,000 and Baghdalian thought for a moment before raising to 1,800,000. Hinkle then reraised all in for 3,310,000 and Baghdalian took some time to think through his decision, while Gao watched on the sideline, knowing that he was likely going to be eliminated.

Baghdalian eventually gave up his hand and the pot was pushed Hinkle's way.
