Grant and Blair are the only brothers to both win a FTOPS event... soon to be brothers with bracelets?

And totally sick 200/400 action, what a hero.

Of course it was a good shove, I won

Winner.

Grant Hinkle raised to 350,000 preflop and James Akenhead reraised to 1.2 million. Hinkle then reraised all in and Akenhead quickly made the all-in call. They both flipped up their cards and revealed:
Hinkle: 10 4 Akenhead: A K Board: 10 4 10 10 5 Hinkle flopped a full house fours full of tens only to improve to tens full of fours on the turn. The hand was more than enough to win Hinkle his first gold bracelet, and send the Englishman Akenhead to the rail in second place ($520,219). Hinkle was cheered on by his poker-professional-brother Blair, his mother, as well as James “mig.com” Mackey, and some of his co-workers from Kansas City, Missouri, as he accepted the golden prize, along with $831,279 in prize money.

Love to hear more about the lilholdem hand.
