Dream Spot for Hinkle

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

Joseph Baghdadlian raised to 250,000 in the cutoff with J♠J♦, Steven Hinkle three-bet in the small blind to 680,000 holding A♣10♦, and Aaron Gao cold called in the big blind with 4♦4♣. Baghdadlian called as well.

The flop came A♥Q♥A♠ and it checked to Baghdadlian, who bet 400,000. Hinkle called and Gao called for his last 70,000.

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

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