There was RunGood on RunGood crime as Daniel Lowery open-jammed in the small blind as Blair Hinkle considered calling off in the big blind with his stack of around 120,000.
"Blair Hinkle Makes a Big Fold, that's the headline," said Lowery. As it turned out, Hinkle called.
Blair Hinkle: K?2?
Daniel Lowery: A?6?
Hinkle took the lead on the flop of 9?2?7? and nothing changed on the 8?J? runout to earn last year's runner-up a double as the floor came over to break the table.
"Did you lose one?" the floor asked the dealer.
"We should have. I got lucky," replied Hinkle.
