Hawkins Doubles Up

Keith Hawkins picked up a much-needed double-up when his all-in reraise with {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} was called by Jeff Kimber, who held {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. Hawkins spiked a king on the {5-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} flop, and locked up the hand when a blank, the {7-Spades} fell on the turn. The river {8-Clubs} completed the board.

Hawkins now has about 750,000 chips, while Kimber slips to about 600,000.
