Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Maurice Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins

Zaki Sheikh checked an {8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} 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: {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Maurice Hawkins: {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Both players held kings-up for a chop, and filled up on the {k-Spades} 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.

Top-Top For Patel

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Neil Patel bet 2,200 on a {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop from under the gun, and was called by a player in the hijack.

More For Kurfman

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Action checked to Kurfman on a {9-Spades}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop, and he bet 1,600. Only Khomutetsky called.

Khomutetsky checked the {2-Clubs} turn, and Kurfman bet 3,000. Khomutetsky reached for calling chips, then thought better of it and folded.

DeSmedt Finds Aces For a KO

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

A player raised to 800 from the cutoff, and Nick DeSmedt three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind. Carlos Guerrero four-bet shoved for 8,000, and after the cutoff folded, DeSmedt quickly called.

Carlos Guerrero: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Nick DeSmedt: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

DeSemdt got a small sweat when the {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop gave Guerrero a Broadway draw, but the {2-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river kept DeSemdt's rockets in front.
