Tim Reilly and Maurice Hawkins played an epic hand that resulted in Reilly doubling up right before the dinner break.

According to the table, Jeffrey Turton opened the betting preflop with a raise to 65,000, and Hawkins three-bet to 155,000. Reilly called from the button, and Turton folded. The flop came {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Hawkins bet 160,000, which was called by Reilly.

The turn was the {J-Hearts}, and Hawkins bet again for 325,000. Once again, Reilly called, and the {J-Spades} fell on the river. Hawkins moved all in, and Reilly snap-called, rolling over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a royal flush. Hawkins was in disbelief as he held {A-}{A-}.
