A field of 218 entries paying $400 apiece produced a $71,940 prizepool in Oklahoma, Hawkins turning on the style as the turbo-style, one-day tournament reached the money.
“I was just kind of sitting there, got around 25 bigs, and then it was like poker time; ‘Let’s do this; Let’s make some things happen,’” explained Hawkins.
That brought him a commanding chip lead as the final table convened and his main rival turned out to be an old foe on the WSOP Circuit, Andy Robinson, a seven-time gold ring winner.
“We’ve been playing some pots the last two days. I would probably say he is one of the best players here,” Hawkins told reporters later. “It’s no shock that every time I get to a final table, Andy Robinson is at the final table.”
The duo had taken 3rd and 4th a couple of months previously in Choctaw, Robinson edging out Hawkins on that occasion for the podium spot, and this time round it came down to a heads-up battle.
The Texas pro put up a good fight, but the title went Hawkins way when he coolered his opponent – ace-king outgunning ace-queen in the final, hand to lift the title and the 14th ring of Hawkins’ career.
“Feel like I got my mojo back,” Hawkins revealed after his win, adding: “Feels good to know that the beginning of the year is going to end like it should, which means, that when you start the year off winning, it only can get better. It’s time to go up.”
Hawkins victory pulled him two rings ahead of nearest rivals Valentin Vornicu and Josh Reichard, both with 12 WSOPC wins.
The often controversial Hawkins boasted:
“Can’t nobody pass me unless I wanted them too, which means if I quit playing poker then they’ll get more rings than me. So, I am the Circuit G.O.A.T. We know this. There, the bar has been set. They count them for a reason.'

Second in chips is none other than all-time World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring leader Maurice Hawkins (pictured above on the right). The Florida resident won his record-setting 13th ring just over a week ago, and is already at another big final table. Hawkins has 1,350,000 in chips, and will be looking to add to his $3.6 million in career earnings with a big score in this event.
Day 2 began with 59 players remaining. Among them was defending champion Ben Diebold. He eventually was eliminated just a few spots shy of the money after running pocket queens into the pocket aces of Shawn Bowen.
It didn’t take long for the money bubble to burst. Hand-for-hand play lasted for just one deal. Tyler Phillips moved all-in for 105,000 from under the gun and Radanov called from the small blind with 1010. Phillips was racing with the AJ. The board came down 98398 and Phillips was sent to the rail as the last player outside of the money.
The remaining 42 players locked up at least $1,640. Plenty of notable players cashed on day 2, including Andy Pokrivnak (39th – $1,640), Brett Bader (27th – $2,378), Derek Bowers (21st – $3,367), Eddy Mroczkowski (19th – $3,367), Jose De La Cruz (12th – $5,776), who finished second in the 2018 CPPT Derby Lane main event.

The final table was set with the elimination of Tim Forsberg in 10th place. He lost a race with AK against the pocket nines of Talesh Patel, who began the day as the fourth shortest stack but managed to finish in third chip position.
The final table kicks off at 2:00 p.m. eastern, with 33:48 remaining in level 22 (blinds of 10,000 – 20,000 with a 20,000 big-blind ante.)
