Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The flop was down , and Maurice Hawkins was under the gun and up against Adil Sbai who was in the big blind. There was around 200,000 already in the pot at this point, and Sbai led with a 120,000 bet. Hawkins raised to 350,000 which was nearly enough to put Sbai all in.

"I'm practically all-in," said Hawkins, "It's pretty clear what I've got" he continued to joke.

"We could have the same hand. I do like you remember that"

Sbai thought through his decision for another minute before the clock was called on him by another player at the table.

"I just can't shut up" laughed Hawkins as he continued to talk to Sbai.

"I know we both got outs, think about that." he continued.

As the tournament director counted down from 30 seconds, Sbai used nearly all his time before he folded.

"Good fold, bro," said Hawkins, before he swooped in the pot to move up to 1.4m.
