"Don't Be Sorry, Queens Full"
Action was picked up on the flop in a hand between a player in first position, Maurice Hawkins in early position and Forrest Raleigh in middle position.
All players checked the flop of 7?5?7? to the 10? turn where the under the gun player bet 7,500 which saw Hawkins raise to 16,000 which saw Raleigh fold after some thought. The under the gun player moved all in for 28,000 effective and Hawkins quickly called.
Opponent: J?8?
Maurice Hawkins: Q?Q?
The river peeled off the Q? and the under the gun player said "sorry man," believing he won the hand after making his flush on the river.
"Don't be sorry," Hawkins said, motioning to the board and his superior hand, "Queens full."
The other player realized he misread the board and shared a chuckle with the table before wishing the table luck as Hawkins stacked up the chips.
