Hopkins and Maue Sweat Together
Level 25
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Action folded to the small blind Leonard Maue who raised all in for the big blind James Hopkins stack of 1,375,000. Hopkins then leaned over to Maue who said "Do want to sweat together?". The two players then peeled the cards, and Hopkins had a decision to make. After using one time extension, Hopkins made the call, to put himself at risk.
James Hopkins: Q?6? 
Leonard Maue: 8?7?
Hopkins was in front with his queen high, and when the board ran out A?3?4?10?2? Hopkins improved to a flush to secure the double up.
