Maurice Hawkins Aiming For $7 Million

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Maurice Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins

"Remember that," Maurice Hawkins said after saying he plans on making $7 million this summer.

Hawkins, who is leading a team that includes Charles "Woody" Moore and Brandon Fish, is already the all-time WSOP Circuit ring leader with 10. In 2016, Hawkins won three WSOP Circuit Main Events, including back-to-back wins at the Council Bluffs and Cherokee stops.

His goal for the WSOP this year is to take home $7 million in tournament earnings. He could start that off easily enough with a win in the $10,000 Tag Team Event, which would also give him and his teammates their first WSOP gold bracelets.

He could also just wait until the end of the series and take down the Main Event, which would easily put him over his goal for the summer. However he plans on doing it, Hawkins has a tough road in front of him. He has already rebounded today after being down to less than 7,000 early in play today.

His teammate Charles "Woody" Moore got all in against Sergio Aido with jacks versus the pocket queens of Aido. Hawkins then tagged in, expecting nothing less than to rebuild. He did rebuild and is now sitting with 45,000 and seems to be enjoying himself.

"I'm feeling pretty good," he said, "I want to win seven million this summer."

Team Brunson Eliminated by Dan Shak in Three-Way All-In

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Action folded around to the player in the cutoff who raised, Dan Shak called from the button, and Todd Brunson moved all-in from the big blind for approximately 10,000. The player in the cutoff four-bet shoved and Shak called.

Brunson tabled {3-}{3-} and the cutoff showed {10-}{10-}, but Shak dominated both his opponents with his {K-}{K-}.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs} which changed nothing, and Shak's kings held up to score a double knockout and eliminate Team Brunson.
