Poker pro and 21-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring winner Maurice Hawkins was assaulted in a private poker game, according to a video shared on social media on Thursday.
The video, shared on X by @toby5640, shows a man repeatedly punching Hawkins, a controversial poker pro who holds the record for the most Circuit rings, beside a poker table before the two are eventually separated.
It is unclear what caused the altercation or the details surrounding the poker game. From the video, Hawkins and the man who assaulted him appear to have been seated side-by-side at the poker table.
