Hawkins Eyeing His Prey

Keith Hawkins raised to 2,100, and Dale Pinchot called from the big blind. The flop came {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Pinchot checked, Hawkins bet 4,200, and Pinchot called. Both checked the {2-Diamonds} on the turn. They both also checked the {K-Spades} on the river.

Pinchot showed {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a pair of queens, and Hawkins mucked. Pinchot has crossed the hundred grand mark -- he now has 103,000.

Hawkins kept getting involved afterwards, though, using his big stack to pressure his opponents. On a subsequent hand, a player in the cutoff seat raised to 2,100, Pinchot called from the button, then Hawkins reraised to 12,100 from the big blind. Both opponents folded.

Hawkins is at about 220,000 at the moment.
