"February $50,000" (Day 2): Hawkins Eliminated In 12th Place ($1,060), Field On Final Table Bubble

"February $50,000"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 20 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 216
Players Remaining: 11

Although Maurice Hawkins (Plantation, FL) was left with less than ten big blinds, he was quickly able to get his stack back over 150,000 (after doubling, and getting some all-ins through).  After shoving for the fourth time in two orbits (six-handed), Hawkins was called by Speranza, and would be ahead.  Maurice's 10♠ 10 held a lead against the A 9♣ of Speranza, with the dealer running out a board of J♠ 4♣ 5 3 2♠, giving Speranza the straight on the river.  

Maurice grinned as he looked at the board, quickly stood from the table, and headed to the tournament podium.  He would earn $1,060 for his 12th place finish, and leaves the table now one elimination from the final table.
