"Two pounds for peanuts they're charging here!" sighed Keith 'The Camel' Hawkins as he propped up the bar with Lord Dempsey, but I soon found out that's Hawkins' disgruntlement went way beyond the peanut situation.
"I did 23,000 in three consecutive hands," he revealed.
I shall now cease quoting, in order to make the tale easier to regale.
On the first hand, Hawkins called a raise to 450 from the big blind with 
before hitting a monster flop of 
. He then check-raised a continuation bet of 800 to 2,200 before calling an 8,050 shove. His opponent had 
which held up on a 
turn and 
river.
The next hand saw James Sudworth open for 450 and Hawkins bump it up to 1,400 in the small blind with Big Slick. Sudworth shoved for 6,000 and Hawkins made the call to find he was coin-flipping against queens. On this occasion, however, his coin was buttered the wrong side as despite a bullet on the flop, a third lady hit the turn to double Sudworth up.
Sudworth was once again the villain as Hawkins finally hit the rail, running pocket jacks into the cowboys of his foe. No further knaves and like a roasted marshmellow over a camp fire, Hawkins was done.
The peanuts provided the final straw.
