Hawkins Keeps on Climbing

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Maurice Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins

With the board reading {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, it appeared Maurice Hawkins had led out for 1,000 in the small blind. The player in the big blind called and another player in the hijack three-bet to 2,800. Hawkins then moved all in and the big blind called for his remaining 4,625. The player in the hijack took a few minutes but eventually folded.

Hawkins showen {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for top pair with a gutshot straight-flush draw. Big blind talbed {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for middle pair and an open-ended straight draw.

The board ran out {k-Diamonds} and the {3-Hearts}, shipping the pot to Hawkins.

Metaal With an Early Elimination

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

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 {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the blinds checked. Metaal bet 300 and the small blind check-raised all in for 1,875. Metaal snap-called.

Metaal tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for top pair with top kicker. The player in the small blind showed {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} 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.

Hawkins Lands the First Jab on Buffer

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

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 {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} 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.
