Howard Mash raised to 500,000 (leaving about 120,000 behind) from under the gun and Maurice Hawkins called in the cutoff and showed AsAd for a set of aces, mistakenly thinking Mash was all in.

The flop was AcQcJc, Mash checked, Hawkins went all in with his set of aces, and Mash thought for a bit before he called with AhTh for a pair of aces with a straight draw.

The Ts turn and Qd river completed the board, no help to Mash, ending his tournament in eighth place.
