Camel Crushed
Keith "The Camel" Hawkins opened to 2,400 under the gun, and Massimiliano Mauceri made the call to see a flop. It came , and the rest of Mauceri's 13,100 chips all got into the middle. Hawkins was more than happy to match him with , but he would soon find out that Mauceri's surprise had out-flopped him in a big way. Mauceri let out a beastly celebration.
Neither the turn nor the river could produce an ace for Hawkins, and he has glumly shipped a double up over to the Italian, who pounded his fist on the felt just for good measure. He's over 30,000 now, maybe just a few chips ahead of Hawkins now.
