Blair Hinkle raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Michael Lucas called on the button.
The flop rolled out 10?6?10? and Hinkle continued for 125,000 which saw Lucas raise to 300,000 and Hinkle called.
On the turn 10?, Hinkle checked over to Lucas who moved all in for 1,080,000 and Hinkle went into the tank. After over a minute of thinking, Hinkle winced and put his chips into the middle to put Lucas at risk.
Michael Lucas: 8?7?
Blair Hinkle: A?9?
The river came as a 5? and the Hinkle rail cheered as Hinkle took a massive pot. Lucas shook all of his opponent's hands and the man who at one point on Day 1b was down to just one big blind, exited the tournament in fifth.

Blair Hinkle raised to 190,000 in the small blind which saw Michael Lucas call in the big blind.
The flop rolled out A?J?8? and Hinkle continued for 100,000 which Lucas called.
On the turn Q?, Hinkle checked over to Lucas who bet 215,000 and Hinkle called.
Hinkle checked the river and Lucas looked back at his cards before betting 250,000 which Hinkle called.
