It is only the second level of the day and Maurice Hawkins is already getting involved in some friendly banter at the table. At least it's starting out as friendly.
With the board reading and around 12,000 in the pot, Maurice Hawkins was all in for 16,500 against an opponent. Hawkins tabled against his opponent's . Hawkins got a full double-up and proceeded to amp up the chatter a bit. "I might talk like I'm a cuddly bear, but I got some teeth! It's going to be a long day folks."
