With about 14,000 in the pot and the board reading {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades} {2-Hearts} a player in early position led out for 4,000. Maurice Hawkins called in the hijack seat. The river was the {8-Hearts} and the player that led on the turn, checked. Hawkins quickly fired out a bet of 6,000 sending his opponent into the tank. After taking his time to assess, he elected to fold and showed Hawkins pocket jacks. Hawkins said, "Nice fold, I had you," reassuring his opponent. Hawkins has been in complete control as a player at his table was overheard saying, "This is his table, we just fight for the hands he doesn't want to play." Seems like a good image to have.
