Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle is an American poker player who won the 2008 World Series of Poker 1,500 dollar No-Limit Hold'em event, earning 831,462 dollars and bringing his total live tournament winnings to 1,640,843 dollars. He won at a final table that included 2000 WSOP Main Event winner Chris Ferguson, in an event that began with 3,929 players, at the time the largest field for a poker tournament other than the WSOP Main Event. He won the final hand with ten-four against the ace-king of James Akenhead, flopping a full house and hitting four of a kind on the turn. Less than two weeks later his brother Blair Hinkle won a bracelet in the 2,000 dollar No-Limit Hold'em event, making them the first brothers to each win a bracelet during the same year.
