A player raises under the gun, Brian Hawkins calls from early position, and Maurice Hawkins (no relation) moves his short stack all in from the button. Both players call, so any further betting will create a side pot between them.
The flop comes [10h5h2s], the first player bets 3,400, and Brian Hawkins calls. The turn card is the [6d], the first player checks, Brian Hawkins bets 5,100, and the first player calls.
The river card is the [8s], the first player checks, Brian Hawkins bets 10,500, and the first player folds.
Maurice Hawkins says, "Please show ace-king suited!" But Brian Hawkins shows [5d5s] for a set of fives. Maurice Hawkins flips over [9d8d] — he had a gutshot straight draw on the turn, but finished with a pair of eights. Brian Hawkins takes the pot as Maurice Hawkins (no relation) is eliminated.
Brian Hawkins – 42,000
Maurice Hawkins – Eliminated
