Maurice Hawkins (Plantation, FL)

Maurice Hawkins (Plantation, FL) may not consider the Isle Casino Poker Room his "home room," but it sure does pile on results each time he plays in an event.  Hawkins is coming off a final table finish in Event #20 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em), his thirteenth recorded final table cash in this room alone.  Maurice has four major Isle Poker titles to his name, and is looking to put himself in best position to make a run towards another.  After arriving fashionably late, Hawkins has managed to turn his 30,000 unit starting stack into 118,000, which leads the field.

While it's still far from Danny Shiff's end of Flight 1A stack (535,600), Maurice has over (390) big blinds at this point of the day.  Posted below are updated counts from the field, tallied just after break:

Maurice Hawkins - 118,000
