Maurice Hawkins

Maurice Hawkins of Team Hawkins was seen in a hand against an all-in opponent on a board of {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} with around 10,000 already in the middle.

Opponent: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Maurice Hawkins: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

The opponent had flopped a set of fives but it was no good against the turned nut flush of Hawkins, who held as the {8-Hearts} peeled off on the river.

Team Fillmore Uses Their One-Time

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The chips went in the middle before the flop and Kyle Yu from team Fillmore was at risk for 3,900.

Team Fillmore: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Yu had run into a bigger pair and the flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving his opponent a set while he picked up a flush draw.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn was a brick and Yu yelled, "C'mon one time!" And just like that the {9-Clubs} landed on the river to complete the flush.

"I used our one-time," Yu told his partner who was behind him on the rail.
