Hawkins Gets a River Fold

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

After Maurice Hawkins raised it up from under the gun, the cutoff three bet it to 1,000. Hawkins called and the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Hawkins check called a bet of 1,000, and on the {2-Hearts} turn, Hawkins led out for 1,350. His opponent called, to the surprise of Hawkins. "I'm not sure why you didn't just set me all in there."

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Hawkins fired out a small bet of 825. "Come on, man. We know you have queens over there and won't fold. Let's go." The table started to laugh as Hawkins continued, "I don't know why you think there's a fold button here. Just call so we can move on." The table continued to laugh as his opponent reluctantly folded, and Hawkins scooped the pot.

Volpe Takes His Seat, Immediately Doubles Up

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Fresh off of busting the Main Event, Paul Volpe didn't take long to register for this event, and he couldn't have been sitting down for more than a few hands before he quickly found a double-up.

Volpe was heads up with Blair Hinkle on the turn of a board showing {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades} when we arrived, and Hinkle checked to Volpe who bet out 3,000. Hinkle called and the {4-Clubs} completed the board. Hinkle checked again and Volpe thought for about 20 seconds before he tossed the rest of his stack in.

The bet was 6,100, which was more than half of Hinkle's remaining stack. Hinkle mulled it over for about a minute before he tossed in the call, and Volpe tabled {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for an overpair. Hinkle nodded his head and tried to muck, but his hand, {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}, was forced to be turned over in an all in situation.

Young Phan Holds

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

It is unclear the exact preflop action but a player in the big blind had a bet of 1,500 in front of him and Young Phan was in middle position and moved all in for 7,600. The player in the blind called and tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Phan showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Phan got an early chip-up. Phan has an impressive poker resume with only one thing seemingly missing: a gold bracelet. He has 43 WSOP cashes and a WSOP Championship ring to go with his over $750,000 of WSOP earnings. Could this be his event? Stay tuned.
