Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

James Hughes raised to 4,500 in early position before Chris Costa three-bet to 22,000 on the button. Maurice Hawkins was in the small blind and paused to look around. After asking to see Hughes stack he opted to call and Hughes called as well.

The dealer spread a flop of {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Hawkins led out for 26,000. Hughes snap-mucked and Costa moved in for a little over 100,000. Hawkins instantly called and both players showed their hands.

Chris Costa: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Maurice Hawkins: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Both players flopped top pair top kicker and the board completed with the {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {9-Spades} on the river.

"You're lucky to chop," Chirped Hawkins, "that's the bottom of my range."

"You're both lucky," chimed in Hughes, suggesting he had the best hand before the flop.
