Blair Hinkle won today the event 23 of the World Series of Poker. It was the $2000 NLHE event.
Well, if we can put everything he did in this final table in a single word, it would have to be "domination". Hinkle alone eliminated 6 out of the 8 other guys in the final table. We can also say it has been an interesting day for the family "Hinkle". I'm not sure if you remember, but Blair's brother, Grant Hinkle, was the winner of event 2 of this years WSOP. So yes, they are the first pair of brothers to ever win bracelets in the same year.
There are some other nice records out there involving brothers, like two in the same final table of main event, but never before a pair of siblings won bracelets in the same year.
 Corwin Cole, aka Myth also did play this event, but he was eliminated late in day 2, as 17th place, for the prize of $16,877. His elimination came by the hands of the event winner, Blair Hinkle. Myth moved all-in with AJ when Hinkle had AK. There was no interference from the board and the Hinkle's king kicked Myth out.
