"I raised it up with Q-5," he started with a slight frog in his throat, "and he [Mark] called. I bet 400 on a 5-5-6 flop and he called again. I then bet 1,000 on the 2 turn, and 1,500 on the 3 river where he pushed all in for a 7,000. I called."
"What did he have?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Pocket eights."
As our exchange drew to a close, Hawkins raised it up preflop and announced, "I don't have Q-5 this time."
