Flush Over Flush Benefits Hawkins

With around 1,000 in the middle on the 7♦2♣J♦8♦3♣ board, Maurice Hawkins bet 2,300 from the cutoff and was quickly called by the button.

Hawkins tabled his K♦3♦ for the king-high flush. The button turned over his Q♦5♦ to show that he had an inferior queen-high flush.

"Where's the rest of the pot," commented a tablemate, who received a few laughs from some players.

In May, Hawkins won his record-extending 15th WSOP circuit ring at WSOP Harrah's Cherokee, winning a $2,200 buy-in High Roller event for $54,599.
