One for Hankins

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matthew Hankins opened for 650 from early position and found four callers, including the hijack, cutoff and both blinds. It was five-way action to the {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop, which everyone checked. When the {8-Spades} was turned, it went check-check to Hankins and he bet 1,150. Only the small blind came along for the ride and both players ended up checking the {7-Diamonds} river.

The small blind revealed {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for kings with a ten kicker, but it was no good against the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} of Hankins. The latter is hovering around the starting stack with 19K.
