Maurice Hawkins

The dealer was already counting out Maurice Hawkins's all-in for 2,360,000 after he just secured a full double-up from the big blind. He was against Anthony Ibrahim who had him covered from the hijack.

Maurice Hawkins: A♦3♦All in
Anthony Ibrahim: A♥A♠

The pot stood at around 400,000 and the board had run out 9♦4♣2♦5♠7♣ with Hawkins turning the straight. Ibrahim sat back with just 730,000 after the hand, putting him down to under ten big blinds.

When the dealer was counting out the stack another player at the table looked to Hawkins and said "Do you like puzzles?" He continued to move the three of diamonds towards the board and placed it on top of the turn card and continued "You found the right piece right there!"

Hawkins replied, "Notice how I didn't force it. It just fit right in."
