Camel's Hump Gets Bigger

[user140525]

Wow, it's crazy out there. There was already quite the pile of chips in the middle when we caught up with the action. Keith "the Camel" Hawkins moved all in for another 45,100, and Victorino Torres moved all in over top. Then Rundulf Gonzales called all in, having Hawkins but not Torres covered.

Showdown
Hawkins: {k-Clubs} {q-Spades}
Torres: {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Gonzales: {a-Diamonds} {a-Clubs}

The flop was pretty clean: {9-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} . But the {10-Spades} on the turn wasn't quite what Gonzales wanted, giving Hawkins a flush draw. Hawkins was packing up and powering down his iPod, but just like that, the {6-Spades} on the river put him back in the game. He more than tripled up, while Gonzales took the much smaller side pot, doubling the 29,000 that was left of his stack through Torres. Torres was left with just 35,000.
