Matt Hawker Hit Again

Matt Hawker is doing it a bit tough
Matt Hawker is doing it a bit tough
Sometimes poker is not fun. That sometime is today for Matt Hawker who earlier ran {A-?}{k-?} into the {k-?}{k-?} of David Gorr.

He re-built to over 50,000 and was looking good till he ran {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} into the {A-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} of Claude Hatchadurian preflop.

The flop of {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} gave Hawker an open-ended straight draw, and left each player cheering the reverse card of the one they were looking for preflop.

The {q-Hearts} turn took away Hawker's broadway straight outs, but he could still hit the lower end straight, as well as a boat with a {k-?}.

He got neither as the {8-Hearts} blanked the river leaving him with just 18,000. Hatchadurian moves over 75,000.
