Hinkle Knocks One Out

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Blair Hinkle raised it up to 1,800 in early position, and it folded around to the hijack, who reraised to 4,300. Hinkle called, and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Hinkle checked to his opponent, who bet out 5,100. Hinkle called, and the {A-Clubs} hit the turn. Hinkle decided to lead out for 6,500, his opponent called, and the {6-Diamonds} came on the river.

Hinkle thought for just a few moments before he announced all in, having his opponent covered. His opponent had about 15,000 behind, and he thought it over for about a minute before he slammed his stack into the middle.

Hinkle rolled over {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the broadway straight, and his opponent frustratingly showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for two pair that was no good.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and the small blind bet 4,600. Volpe raised to 14,000, sending his opponent into the tank. He ultimately called and Volpe tabled {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for flopped two pair. The small blind mucked and Volpe took the pot.

Savir Gets Aces

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

In an odd twist, we arrived to the table to see a dispute involving the position of the button. The overall consensus was that it was on Seat 4, but the player in Seat 3 was adamant that it was his. After the tournament director talked to everyone, the button remained in Seat 4 and play continued.

A player in late position moved all in for his remaining 4,300. Action folded to Owen Savir (Seat 4) on the button and he re-raised to 16,000. All other players folded.

All in player: {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Owen Savir: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and the aces held for Savir. The player in Seat 3, who was already angry at the development of the button being moved, was now even more angered. He began to take video of all the players at the table for whatever reason and was told by the tournament director to put it away and it wasn't allowed. Some players took offense to this. We will keep an eye on any developments.
