Hawkins has reached the final table of Event #28: $600 Deepstack NLH\/PLO Mixed Event, which attracted 3,332 entries. He has already secured at least $18,854 in winnings, but his goal is to win the $204,140 first-place prize.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Hawkins just won his 25th WSOP ring last month, earning $113,223. He has a total of 308 WSOP earnings (including both WSOP and off-tournament events). But he is still chasing that elusive first gold bracelet, a goal that could be achieved on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">However, winning the gold bracelet at this final table won&#039;t be easy, as there are many top players, including two future Poker Hall of Famers. Hawkins will enter the final nine with fifth place in chips. Reichard holds a narrow lead over Brent Gregory, while Foxen (fourth place) and Negreanu (seventh place) remain in contention.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Because of the star-studded final table, the WSOP decided to move it live. Therefore, the final table will be broadcast with a significant delay after the dinner break. But this is a tournament you&#039;d be willing to stay up all night to watch (or get up early, depending on your local time). Hawkins may have his critics, but he&#039;ll have the opportunity to silence them\u2014and do it live.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Final table seating chart<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><div class=\"ds-scroll-area ds-scroll-area--show-on-focus-within ds-scroll-area--enabled _1210dd7 c03cafe9\"><div class=\"ds-scroll-area__gutters\"><div class=\"ds-scroll-area__horizontal-gutter\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ds-scroll-area__vertical-gutter\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><table><thead><tr><th><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">seat<\/span><\/th><th><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">player<\/span><\/th><th><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Chip quantity<\/span><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">1<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Kelly Mahana<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">3,600,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">2<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">John Holley<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">14,650,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">3<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Brent Gregory<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">19,450,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">4<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Daniel Negreanu<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">4,650,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">5<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">John Ghosn<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">7,850,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">6<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Josh Reichard<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">21,000,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">7<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Sonny Franco<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">2,400,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">8<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Alex Foxen<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">13,300,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">9<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Maurice Hawkins<\/span><\/td><td><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">13,100,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><h3>Want to change Texas Holdem from \"can understand\" to \"can win\"?<\/h3><p><span style=\"color: #333300;\">If you want to learn more about Texas Hold'em, you can continue reading\uff1a<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-history\/\">The Origins of Texas Hold'em: Why is it the World's Most Popular Poker Variant?<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-hand-rankings\/\">Texas Hold'em Hand Rankings and Showdown Rules (Beginner\u2019s Essentials)<\/a><br data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2631\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-betting-actions\/\">Texas Hold'em Betting teaching: Check \/ Bet \/ Call \/Raise and Betting Strategy Analysis<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hunter.poker\/en\/texas-holdem-position-strategy\/\">The importance of Texas Hold'em position?
