Setback for Hawkins
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three players saw the 8♠5♠2♥3♥ turn. Igor Yaroshevskyy was in the small blind and checked to the big blind, who fired 2,200 into the pot of about 8,500. Maurice Hawkins was on the button and raised to 6,500 before Yaroshevskyy checked-raised to 15,000. The big blind quickly folded, but Hawkins stuck around with a call.
The 5♣ landed on the river, and Yaroshevskyy continued for 25,500, putting Hawkins in a tough decision. Hawkins went deep into the tank, taking a little over three minutes as he talked to himself. Eventually, he apologized to the table and mucked his hand.
