Kang Doubles Through Hawkins

Webber Kang was just all in and at risk for 169,000 total following a {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. Kang held {A-Spades}{10-Spades} and still needed to improve against Maurice Hawkins's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

The turn brought Kang a needed card — the {K-Spades} — completing his flush and making the {2-Hearts} river no matter. Kang doubles up, while Hawkins continues to maintain a nearly average stack.
