Kou Vang raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Maurice Hawkins put out a three-bet to 210,000 from the big blind. Vang moved all in for 1,400,000 and Hawkins quickly called and once again rolled over 
. This time, however, Hawkins was behind as Vang was holding the only hand better, 
.
Hawkins immediately started shouting, "King! King!" and the dealer fanned the flop of 
. Vang was still in the lead and the 
didn't change anything.
Someone on the rail yelled out "A king for the king!" and the dealer laid the 
on the river. Hawkins jumped out of his seat and ran around the Brasilia Room. "I hit a king!" you could hear him belting out while doing laps around the room. Vang stood up in disbelief waiting for the tournament director to hand him his payout slip.
When Hawkins returned to his seat, the dealer had pushed a mound of chips to his spot that he started stacking. "I thought he had aces but I'm never folding kings, I can't do that," he explained. The rest of the table was still in shock, and Hawkins being the jokester that he is tried to lighten the mood. "I hit a King, it kind of made my nipples hard," as he and table burst into laughter.
