Hawkins Soars Into the Chip Lead

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

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: {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Maurice Hawkins: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop gave Hawkins a Royal Flush draw and left Wagner looking for a non-club three to survive. He found one on the {3-Hearts} turn, but Hawkins snatched the lead right back on the {k-Hearts} 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.

Both players checked the {7-Clubs} river, and Raghavan tabled {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a set of kings. The middle position player said, "Nice hand," then mucked.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Jacob Rich: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Rich's overpair had his opponent's top pair, top kicker in rough shape, and the {10-Clubs} river left Rich with the knockout.

Wolff's Quads Earn a KO

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

Michael Wolff raised to 2,500 from middle position, and was called by Todd Sladek in the hijack. The big blind three-bet jammed for 12,500, and Wolff four-bet jammed to put Sladek at risk for his last 84,000. Sladek quickly folded.

Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Michael Wolff: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Wolff flopped a set on the {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop, then improved to quads on the {q-Clubs} turn. After the {2-Hearts} river, the big blind said, "Did I win?" with a wide grin, before taking his leave.

Holloway's Kings Earn a Double

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player jammed for 32,000 from under the gun, and Chad Holloway called off his last 25,600 in the hijack.

Chad Holloway: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-}{q-}

Holloway's kings got a little sweat after the {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop gave his opponent a pair of queens and some additional outs, but the {2-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river were safe for Holloway to double.

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player checked a {3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop from under the gun, and Michael Wolff bet 4,500 in the hijack. The under-the-gun check-raised all in for his last 20,000, and Wolff called.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Michael Wolff: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Wolff needed to fade the nut flush draw of his opponent, and did so on a {4-Diamonds} turn and {10-Spades} river to earn the knockout.
