Team Wheeler has Team Hawkins Talking to Himself

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Maurice Hawkins of Team Hawkins raised under the gun and both Tarah Wheeler of Team Wheeler in the small blind and the big blind made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and the action checked to Hawkins who continued for 800. Wheeler put in the check-raise to 2,400 and only Hawkins called.

The {5-Diamonds} hit the turn and Wheeler checked to Hawkins before he fired out 2,400. Wheeler went in the tank for a bit saying, "How much do you have left? It's your first hand, right?"

Hawkins replied, "Started with 20,000."

After a few more seconds Wheeler jammed for about 26,000 and Hawkins went into the tank.

"If it weren't a tag team I would snap it off," Hawkins said. "I hate that it is a tag team, I'd feel bad if I lose. Asking if it's my first hand, maybe you don't even know who you're talking to. Trying to goad me into calling."

Eventually, Hawkins tossed his {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} face up and Wheeler took down the pot without showing.
