Hand #126 - Daniel O'Brien Eliminated in Third Place ($198,132)

[user46392]

Hinkle raises to 130,000 from the button, and O'Brien makes it all in for 1.2 million from the small blind. Brockington folds, and Hinkle checks his hole cards again. He looks at O'Brien, and then down at the felt. And then he calls.

O'Brien: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Hinkle: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

"YES, COME ON DANNY!!!" shout O'Brien's supporters.

"SIIIIXXXXX!!!" shouts the Hinkle Fan Club. This time it works.

Flop: {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} -- "WOOOOOO!!!"

Turn: {5-Clubs} -- Hinkle is rubbing his hands and bouncing up and down

River: {K-Spades}

The Fan Club goes nuts, O'Brien takes third place money, and we are now heads up, Hinkle the chip leader.

A depleted Hinkle takes no respite, raising it to 125,000 from the button on the very next hand. Brockington makes the call.

{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Brockington checks to Hinkle who bets 150,000. Brockington folds.

Hurrah, I flopped quads!
Hurrah, I flopped quads!
Brockington makes it 200,000 from the button, and Hinkle goes all in.

Call.

Brockington: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Hinkle: {5-Spades} {5-Clubs}

"Five! Five! Five!" shouts the Hinkle Fan Club.

Board: er, {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and Hinkle's drawing dead right there. They probably shouldn't have shouted that. "Check the deck! That wasn't even exciting," says a Hinkle Fan Club member.

Level: 25

Blinds: 30,000/60,000

Tales from the Rail

[user4144]

The Hinkle fans spot references of themselves in the PokerNews blog...

"Can they hear what we say?" asks one confused chap.

"Yeah, man, they're over there," says another pointing to my isolated figure just a few yards away.

More tales from the rail as we receive them...

Hand #121 - Hinkle

[user46392]
[user46392]
O'Brien folds the button, and Brockington raises to 175,000 in the small blind. Hinkle goes into the tank for a while, and eventually moves all in for his very imposing, chip-leading 2.9 million. Brockington passes, and Hinkle takes the last pot of this level.

Hand #120 - Hinkle & O'Brien

[user4144]
[user4144]
Hinkle raises from the button/under-the-gun to 105,000 and O'Brien makes the call. O'Brien checks in the dark.

{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Hinkle bets 100,000, O'Brien calls.

Turn = {3-Clubs}

Check, check.

River = {7-Hearts}

Check, check.

10-9 versus J-10, chop chop
