Hawkins Counterfeit

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was picked up on a flop of 568. Under-the-gun player Maurice Hawkins announced "pot" for a bet totalling 193,000. John Riordan was in the hijack, and he thought for a bit, then shoved for 270,000. Hawkins snapped off the bet.

John Riordan: AAQ9 All in
Maurice Hawkins: 10986

The turn K kept Hawkins' two pair in the lead, but the K river gave his opponent aces-up, as Hawkins' two pair was counterfeit. He described the runner-runner suckout as "some bullsh*t".
