Hinkle Gets Folds

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Mason Hinkle, who enjoyed a deep run in this event last year, eventually finishing in 14th place, opened to 500 from middle position after a player limped from early position. He received calls from a player in late position, the button, and the original limper.

Action checked to Hinkle following the A?7?J? flop and he continued for 1,300. That bet was met by three quick folds, sending a pot Hinkle's direction early in the day.
