Grant Hinkle is an American poker player who won the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event. He earned $831,462 at the event, an amount that constitutes his total live tournament winnings.[1]
Hinkle won the bracelet by bluffing his hand of 10-4 versus the A-J of James Akenhead. Hinkle hit 10-4-10 on the flop to give him a full house. He then hit a 10 on the turn to secure the four of a kind and the bracelet.
Hinkle won his WSOP bracelet at a final table that included 2000 WSOP Main Event winner Chris Ferguson. The event began with 3929 players, at the time the largest ever field for a poker tournament other than the WSOP Main Event.[2]
Less than two weeks later WSOP history was made when his brother, Blair Hinkle, also won a WSOP bracelet in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event making them the first brothers to each win a bracelet during the same year.[3]. Grant expects to be playing in the World Series of Poker Europe in September 2008.
