"One Big and a Dream"
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Maurice Hawkins shoved for his final 2,100,000 from early position before Yanting Jiang made the call out of the small blind to put Hawkins at risk for his tournament.
Maurice Hawkins: A♠7♠
Yanting Jiang: A♦5♦
Hawkins had the slightly better ace as they went to a runout.
The 6♠8♦2♠ flop gave Hawkins a bigger edge to win the pot outright as he flopped a flush draw.
Hawkins seven was still relevant on the 3♣ turn.
The river gave it to Hawkins when the A♣ peeled as his seven kicker maintained its relevance when he needed it most.
"Seven plays baby!" Hawkins said as he collected the pot. "One big and a dream!"
