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.

Watts Crippled

Livello 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

After besting a large field in Event #12, the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Triple Chance only to bubble the official final table, Steve Watts had been building a stack today as he tried to go deep again.

Watts and two other players limped preflop and the {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop was seen five ways. The first limper bet out 200 when the players in the blinds checked and Watts raised to 525. The three remaining players folded and the lone bettor called. The turn was the {8-Clubs}. It was checked to Watts and he fired out 700. His opponent called.

The river was the {j-Spades} and when it was checked to him again, he quickly went all. His opponent thought for just a couple of seconds before saying, "I have to call" and flipping over {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for the nut flush. Watts flashed the {k-Spades} as he mucked and has slipped to 500.

Perelman KO's Jarvis

Perelman recounted to us the tale of how he knocked out 2010 Main Event finalist Matt Jarvis.

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{x-}, Jarvis bet 225 and Perelman raised to 600. Jarvis called.

The turn was a {10-} Jarvis checked, Perelman went all in, and Jarvis called.

Jarvis showed {K-}{10-} for two pair and Perelman showed {K-}{J-} for a better two pair.

Perelman is now double starting stack and Jarvis is busto.

Big Hands Put Schleger in Good Shape

Shane Schleger just won two big hands to put himself over double starting stack here early on in Level 2 of the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em.

In this particular hand, Schleger raised to 100 on the button and got a call from the player in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and the big blind bet 175. Schleger called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, the big blind bet 350, and Schleger again just elected to call.

The river was the {7-Hearts}, and the big blind player made a big bet of 1,000. Schleger put the pressure on and raised it to 2,000. The big blind folded and Schleger took down his second big pot in a row (the previous hand he won a big pot with trip eights).
