After very little action at the final table, things blew up in one hand. It folded around to Thomas Elder on the button, he moved all in for 340,000 and Hal Rotholz called from the small blind.

“You don’t want me to wake up with a hand,” Maurice Hawkins said from the big blind.

He checked his cards and dropped in a barrel of 100K chips to cover Rotholz. He called for 750,000 total and a three-way all-in pot.

Hawkins:
Elder:
Rotholz:

Hawkins was in line for a double knockout but they all saw a four in the window of the flop. Elder took the lead for the main pot and stayed that way after the turn and quad-giving river. Elder tripled up, Hawkins earned a rebate from the healthy side pot, and Rotholz was eliminated in eighth place.

Thomas Elder – 1,070,000 (21 bb)
Maurice Hawkins – 2,700,000 (54 bb)

But they are just relaxed and pushing around a few chips here and there.
