Jack Sinclair Picks the Wrong Battle
From middle position, Maurice Hawkins opens with a raise to 575. Jack Sinclair is on the button and he three-bets, making it 1,700. The player in the small blind calls, as does Hawkins so the three head to a flop.
The board comes down 
and all three players check to see the 
on the turn. There, the small blind checks. Hawkins leads out, betting 2,100. Sinclair calls while the small blind folds.
The river is the 
and Hawkins bets 2,250. Sinclair takes one last look at his cards, then folds. Hawkins then turns up the 
and flicks it towards Sinclair.
"You might want to pick the right battle, buddy," Hawkins says to Sinclair.
"You could still have ten-three," Sinclair jokes back.
"There are other battles to be had buddy, and this is not the right one," Hawkins continues. "There's so many battles to be had in this room and this is not the one you want."
