I Got the Nuts

Maurice Hawkins raised to 1,500 before Niklas Flisberg reraised to 5,000. The call was made and the flop came {7-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. Flisberg bet 8,000 and Hawkins moved all in.

As Flisberg was dwelling the call, Hawkins was telling him not to call as he was holding the nuts. The floor was called as Hawkins was pushing the boundaries on what he could say and he was duly given a warning.

Flisberg made the call with {A-?} {Q-?} and he was ahead of his over-talkative opponent's {A-?} {J-?}. The turn and the river bricked, enabling Flisberg to reach 69,000, whereas Hawkins is down to 45,000.
