Hawkins and Sheikh Chop It Up
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Zaki Sheikh checked an 
board from the big blind, and former HPT St. Louis champ Maurice Hawkins bet 2,400 into a pot 3,000. Sheikh check-raised to 6,000, and Hawkins three-bet enough to put Sheikh in for his last 25,000 or so. Sheikh quickly called.
Zaki Sheikh: 
Maurice Hawkins: 
Both players held kings-up for a chop, and filled up on the 
river before the pot was chopped between the two. Even with the chop, Hawkins has gotten off to a strong start here in Day 1c action.
