MartianNews

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Maurice Hawkins opened to 600 from the cutoff, Richard Martin called on the button, Margo Costa stuck around from the small blind and a player in the big blind defended.

The dealer fanned out on the flop and action checked to Hawkins who bet 1,000. Martin and Costa both called to see the turn card.

Action checked to Hawkins again and he fired in 3,000. Martin was the only player to stick around to see the river card and Hawkins continued for another 3,000.

Martin quickly called and Hawkins tabled for a pair of kings. Martin mucked and Hawkins pulled in another healthy-sized pot early in the day.
