It's been a whirlwind of a week for Maurice Hawkins, who won his record-tying 19th World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring just days after he was once again called out publicly by a disgruntled backer.
Hawkins took down Event #6: $400 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack at WSOPC Horseshoe Tunica for $34,711 as he defeated Arkansas' Dylan Crawford. The event drew 571 players and the final table also included Michael Mieszala (3rd - $15,081), Michael Costello (4th - $10,822) and Dave Alfa (5th - $7,931).

Backer Says Hawkins Still Hasn't Paid
On April 21, just two days before Hawkins won his 19th ring to tie Ari Engel as the all-time ring leader, he was called out on social media by former backer Randy Garcia.
In 2019, a judge in Palm Beach County, Florida, awarded Garcia a $115,828 judgment, meaning Hawkins owed that amount to him. But several years later, the North Carolina restaurateur says Hawkins has only paid back a fraction of the money owed.
"So now I am working with a new lawyer to go after every penny he owes me (including 6 years of interest which I am entitled to per the judgment)," Garcia wrote on X. "I will do everything in my power not only to get my money back, but expose him for the fraud he is. He has now owed me for 6 years. I backed him and loaned him money when his bills were past due for his family and this is how he repays my kindness."

Garcia also shared a text message from Hawkins dated March 7 asking for "30 days" to pay the money back. Garcia claims Hawkins, who has long dismissed his critics as haters who envy his success, missed that April 7 deadline.
Hawkins' 18th ring victory was also marred in controversy, albeit unrelated to the polarizing poker player himself. In that victory, third-place finisher Divyam Satyarthi was incorrectly eliminated when his winning hand was accidentally mucked at showdown.
Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz discussed the Hawkins backing controversy on the latest PokerNewsPodcast, which went live this morning.

- Indian Rummy is another classic variation that has become very well-liked in South Asia. In Indian Rummy, two to six players usually play with two decks of cards and jokers. The goal is still the same: in order to declare their hands, players must form legitimate sets and sequences. Nonetheless, Indian Rummy adds special components, like the need for a minimum of two sequences, one of which needs to be pure (i.e., devoid of a joker). This variant is exciting for players who like a challenge because it stresses both strategic joker use and deft card management. 25-05-09
- There are a number of traditional variations of Rummy that have endured over the years. Gin Rummy is one of the most well-known variations, having gained popularity in the early 1900s. In Gin Rummy, two players compete to create melds of three or more cards in runs (consecutive ranks) or sets (same rank). In order to improve their hands and keep an eye on their opponents' moves, players draw and discard cards over the course of multiple rounds. The balance between creating melds and reducing deadwood, or unmatched cards that can result in penalties at the end of each round, is what gives Gin Rummy its strategic depth. 25-05-09
