In a rather small pot, Maurice Hawkins was on the button and raised to 550. Bruce Buffer was in the big blind and defended.
The flop was and Buffer check-folded to Hawkins's bet of 700.
This is expected to be a reoccurring clash as Buffer will be in the blinds while Hawkins is in position.

Govert Metaal hasn't taken long to increase his stack since late registering. Just now came a hand in which Metaal was in early position and limped in. Both blinds called.
The flop was and the blinds checked. Metaal bet 300 and the small blind check-raised all in for 1,875. Metaal snap-called.
Metaal tabled for top pair with top kicker. The player in the small blind showed
for second pair.
Unfortunately for the small blind, the turn and river bricked off without helping him improve and Metaal held on to rake in the pot.
