Mugar Wins at Showdown
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Peter Mugar opened to 24,000 from the cutoff, which only Maurice Hawkins called in the big blind.
Hawkins came out firing on the 7♣Q♣10♠ flop, putting a bet of 16,000 into the middle. Undeterred, Mugar called.
The action checked through on both the 9♠ turn and the 3♥ river.
"Bottom pair", Hawkins announced before mucking when Mugar flipped over 8♠8♦ to claim the pot.
