Mcnamee Doubles in Back-to-Back Hands
What a start for young Andrew Mcnamee. He began the day with just 9,200 and is already more than quadruple that thanks to two big hands against Maurice Hawkins.
In the first, Hawkins opened from the cutoff and then called when Mcnamee moved all in for 8,800 from the big blind. Hawkins held the 
but was behind the 
of Mcnamee. The 
flop gave Hawkins a pair of jacks, but it kept Mcnamee in the lead by pairing his ace. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Hawkins and Mcnamee doubled to around 19,000.
In the very next hand, Hawkins opened for 2,500 from the hijack and Matt Salsberg and Allen Pock called from the cutoff and button respectively. Mcnamee then moved all in from the small blind, Hawkins called and the other two players got out of the way.

"It's a good spot for that," Hawkins told Mcnamee. The 
flop left Hawkins calling for an ace or king, but he was left wanting as the dealer put out the 
on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
