Lauson Check-Raises Hawkins
Level 8
: 300/600, 600 ante
Travis Lauson checked a 
flop from the big blind, and Maurice Hawkins bet 2,300 from early position. Lauson check-raised to 5,200, and Hawkins called.
The 
fell on the turn, and Lauson bet 11,500. Hawkins instantly folded.
Table 8, where both of these players currently reside, has a fearsome lineup already installed, with massive chip leader John Simon, Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, and reigning MSPT/HPT POY Aaron Johnson all sitting alongside Lauson and Hawkins.
