Hawkins Chases Away Newhouse on River
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The board read 10♥J♦K♦9♣ with approximately 500,000 in the pot when this hand was picked up.
Maurice Hawkins bet 400,000 from early position and was called by Mark Newhouse on the button.
The Q♣ river peeled before Hawkins put out a smaller bet of 300,000 on the river. Newhouse gave it some thought before he put in the call.
Hawkins showed 10♣10♠ for a set of tens and it was good as Newhouse mucked his hand to award the pot to Hawkins.
