Hawkins Wins Battle of the Blinds to Go Over 100,000
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The action folded over to Maurice Hawkins in the small blind, who opted to call. Jordan Scott, in the big blind, raised to 2,500. Hawkins then rereraised to 8,000 and Scott called.
The flop came 
and Hawkins continued for 13,000. Scott called.
On the 
turn, Hawkins put in 40,000, which was slightly more than Scott's stack. Scott went into the tank for about two minutes before eventually laying his hand down.
Hawkins, owner of a record 14 WSOP Circuit rings, is looking for his second Main Event cash. Two months ago, he was called out by his backer after failing to live up to a backing agreement.
