Hinkle Applies Pressure
Niveau 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
There were about 1,500 chips in the pot and the board read 
when we got to the table. The player in the small blind bet 1,200 and Blair Hinkle raised to 3,000 from the big blind. A player in middle position folded and the small blind called after brief consideration.
The 
hit the river and the small blind checked. Hinkle jammed for what looked like 4,300, sending his opponent into the tank. After just under a minute she tossed her cards into the muck and Hinkle took the pot.
