Rios Makes a Big Call on the River; Hawkins Holding Steady
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2♥J♣4♣, a player in early position bet 7,500 and Jorge Rios called from under the gun.
The turn came the 6♠ and Rios faced another bet of 28,000. He again called to the A♠ river and checked over to his opponent for a third time.
The early-position player then fired out 47,000 and Rios tanked for a moment before calling. His opponent showed K♦Q♦ for a bluff, while Rios had J♥9♥ to win the pot with a pair of jacks.
Maurice Hawkins is also at this table and still sitting on around 950,000. Martin Jacobson, the 2014 Main Event champion, and last year's finalist Matthew Su are sitting side-by-side at an adjacent table.
