Yepez Doubles Through Hawkins
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Maurice Hawkins opened to 1,200,000 from early position and Luis Yepez, who was sat to his direct left, jammed for 3,300,000. Action folded around the table and Hawkins said "Lets open it up!" He continued and said "Let's play for first and not sit around."
Hawkins stood from the table, slammed a stack of chips into the pot and flipped over his hand.
Luis Yepez: K♦Q♥
Maurice Hawkins: 10♥9♥
Yepez was ahead but the 6♠4♦8♠ flop saw Hawkins call for a, "Seven...seven...seven" to fall on the turn or river to give him the straight.
There was no change on the J♦ turn and 3♣ river and Yepez held with king high.
