Clyde Hinton Eliminated in 18th Place ($29,232)

Clyde Hinton raises from middle position to 18,000, Robert Georato calls from the button, and Tommy Vedes calls from the big blind.

The flop comes [10d9s2s], Vedes checks, Hinton bets 20,000, and Georato raises to 60,000. Vedes calls, and Hinton looks like he is trying to call, but puts out a little too much and leaves his original bet out — the total he puts out is 95,000. TD Matt Savage is called over, and Hinton must make a full raise to 100,000 if he wishes to continue in the hand. (He does.)

The accidental raise reopens the betting to Georato, and he moves all in for about 800,000, easily covering both players. Vedes tanks for more than a minute before he folds, and Hinton calls with [AsQs] (ace-high flush draw). Georato turns over [8s7s] for a lower flush draw with an open-ended straight draw.

The turn is the [Jc], the river is the [Qh], and Robert Georato wins the pot with a queen-high straight to win the pot. Clyde Hinton is eliminated in 18th place.

Robert Georato  –  1,250,000  (156 BBs)
