On the river, the big blind checked again, and this time, Hawkins bet 600. His opponent started thinking over the decision and then Hawkins started in.
"What do you have? Ace-queen of spades? I think he has ace-queen of spades," he said with a big smile on his face.
His opponent kept thinking and then Hawkins began imitating his opponent's thought process. "What did he bet the flop with, then the turn? Does he have queen-nine?"
