"I Guess This is Why You Should Know a Game Before You Play a Tournament"

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

Two players called before Maurice Hawkins made it 49,000. Only Brandon Adams, on the button, called. The flop came {j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Hawkins bet 100,000. Adams went deep into the tank. So deep, in fact, that he used all three time extensions.

"I guess this is why you should know a game before you play a tournament," Adams said at one point.

Finally, he folded at the buzzer, asking what he was supposed to do with the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} he showed.

"I'm glad you folded," Hawkins said. "You were ahead."

He showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. One player said Hawkins was incorrect, a set was ahead.

"I was told straight draw was ahead of a set," Hawkins replied.

General consensus seemed to be that Adams needed to get his stack in.
