Championship Day 1C: Hinkle-Mania

$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 7: 250/500/75 Ante

Blair Hinkle has already reached the winner’s circle here at Seminole Hard Rock having won the historic $10,000,000 guaranteed Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship Event in 2013.  Now his brother Grant is making an early run himself.

Grant Hinkle is near the top of the leaderboard after the completion of six levels at a strong 111,900 chip count.  For those that don’t remember, Grant won a WSOP bracelet early in the 2008 series and  brother Blair followed suit later in that same series making them the first brother combination to win bracelets in the same WSOP.

Could it be Grant who follows Blair’s footsteps this time and wins this WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open in the same place where his brother made history?  He’s off to a great start here on Day 1C.
