Hawkins Soars Into the Chip Lead

BrandonTemple

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Maurice Hawkins, who has seen his stack grow at a blistering clip since the dinner break, raised to 3,200 from middle position, and Larry Wagner three-bet shoved for 10,500 from the big blind. Hawkins called.

Larry Wagner:
Maurice Hawkins:

The flop gave Hawkins a Royal Flush draw and left Wagner looking for a non-club three to survive. He found one on the turn, but Hawkins snatched the lead right back on the river, giving him Broadway and the knockout. Hawkins now commands a quarter-million chip stack, while one-time chip leader and tablemate John Simon now sits with just over starting stack.
