Year of the Hinkles?
You may have heard of Grant and Blair Hinkle. The two are brothers and both have WSOP bracelets in 2008.
Blair won a $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $507,563, and Grant won a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event for $831,462. The two are playing today's event, but Lynn Hinkle, mother of the two, let us know via twitter that her youngest son Mason is making his WSOP debut today as well.
"@bloodlow watch for 3 Hinkle brothers today in #wsop20 to see if baby bro (21 & 5 days) @MasonHinkle can catch his 2008 bracelet winning brother @GrantHinkle (31 & 5 days) and @blur5f6 (25 & 4 mo)"
Mason and Grant are still in it, but Blair has already busted. On his twitter account he said, "Busted all in with 99 vs 66 after getting short. @MasonHinkle easily bests one of his older brothers..."
Even if he doesn't join his brothers in the bracelet club in his first WSOP event, at least he has that to fall back on.
