After some raising back and forth, Michael Moncek's stack of 200,000 was in the middle preflop from the cutoff, and Maurice Hawkins was trying to bust him from the hijack.

Michael Moncek: K♠K♦ All in
Maurice Hawkins: A♠K♣

It was a brutal cooler for a pot of almost half a million.

Hawkins found the dream flop in the form of A♥4♦6♣, leaving Moncek drawing to just one out.

The rest of the board came 10♠5♠ and Moncek was sent to the rail.
