Brothers in Cards: Hinkles Reflect on Hold’em Success

Grant and Blair Hinkle are among the most successful poker-playing siblings in the game and the Kansas-born cardsharps have been on quite a run recently.

36-year-old Grant works as a risk and compliance management consultant specializing in governance, but does some serious poker-playing on the side. In January, he won the $1,675 WSOPC Choctaw Main Event for $375,427 and his career winnings now sit at $1.6 million.

His younger brother Blair, 31, won the HPT Thunder Valley in October for $223,411 and the $1,125 NLHE WSOP Circuit event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for $26,181 in April.
