Maurice Hawkins Can't Believe It
Michael Crawford opens to 100,000 and Andy Philachack raises to 350,000. Crawford goes all in and Philachack takes a moment.
"Every time I fold this hand, I win the tournament," Philachack says, "you won't believe what I'm gonna fold. It just doesn't feel good."
Crawford and Philachack agree to show and Philachack announces fold before showing two queens, . Crawford shows .
"What are you doing?" Maurice Hawkins says bursting out of his chair, "I'm winning this tournament. You're not playing poker."
"I would have done what he did," Crawford says.
"No you wouldn't," Hawkins replies.
"Worse case scenario he has ace-king," Philachack says, "I don't want to flip right now."
The table talks about the hand for a while, with more of the table siding with Philachack than with Hawkins.
Michael Crawford - 2,660,000 (53 bb)
Andy Philachack - 1,650,000 (33 bb)
Maurice Hawkins - 725,000 (14 bb)
