Hawkins Strikes Again
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Maurice Hawkins made it 2,300,000 from the cutoff, which led to a shove from Yanting Jiang out of the big blind. Hawkins called to put himself at risk for 10,300,000.
Maurice Hawkins: K♣Q♠
Yanting Jiang: A♥3♥
It was looking bleak for Hawkins after the 4♣5♦10♣ flop, but the turn was much kinder when it peeled the K♣ to give Hawkins a pair of kings and the lead.
Hawkins faded Jiang's straight and ace outs on the 7♦ river to secure the double up.
