Hawkins Bluffs For It All

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop between four players including Terry Hawkins in the cutoff and Tiffany Keathley in the big blind.

The flop read 1096 and action checked over to Hawkins who bet 12,000 which all three of his opponents called.

On the 2 turn, action checked around to Hawkins once more who sized up to 30,000 which only one player called in the small blind.

An A peeled off on the river as the small blind tapped a chip on top of his stack to indicate a check. Hawkins moved all in for 67,000 and his opponent snap folded, prompting Hawkins to show Q7 for just queen-high as he took down the sizable pot.

Davis Didn't Know He Was Bluffing

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up in a big pot between Mark Davis in first position against both the small blind and the big blind.

The flop came out 76[3ch] and action checked to Davis who bet 27,000 which saw only the small blind call.

On the turn 2, the small blind checked over to Davis who moved all in for 120,000 which sent the small blind into the tank.

"Will you show?" she asked "I'm going to make a big laydown."

Davis nodded and the small blind showed QQ for pocket queens. Davis kept up his end and showed K7 for a pair of sevens.

"I did not know I was bluffing," Davis remarked after the hand "when you didn't snap I thought I was good."

At another table, Joey Gargiulo was seen exiting the tournament area.
