Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Maurice Hawkins was in the small blind and limped in. The big blind raised to 450 and Hawkins three-bet to 1,100. The big blind then moved all in for what appeared to be roughly 4,500 and Hawkins snap-called.

Hawkins tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and the big blind showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Hawkins eliminated his opponent and continued to chip up.

After the hand, Hawkins exclaimed, "I don't have to do anything, these guys are just giving me chips. I just have to say call and hold." He was referencing how easy the chips came to him while referring to another player on the table who has played a lot of hands and has had to make plays postflop in order to get his chips.
