Too Many Outs for Hawkins as Chang Doubles
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andrew Chang opened from early position before Maurice Hawkins three-bet to 27,000 from the small blind. With the action back on Chang, he jammed for his 122,000 stack, and Hawkins called.
Andrew Chang: Q♥Q♠
Maurice Hawkins: A♥K♥
It was the most classic of flips as the J♥10♥2♠ flop gave Hawkins a Royal gutter, which was blocked by Chang's hand. Hawkins held the small advantage going into the turn, but it was a case of too many outs as the board ran out 7♣6♣, leaving the queens best for the full double.
