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 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]
