Englishman Hawkins has one of the best recent records at the Crucible, reaching the final in 2013 and making four further semi-final appearances.
He held a 7-2 overnight lead and had no trouble completing the win to set up a meeting with Neil Robertson.
Later on, world number 60 Martin Gould hammered Scotland's Stephen Maguire 10-3.
Englishman Gould, 38, said before the tournament he was driven into a "dark place" by abuse on social media and was planning to retire if he did not make it through qualifying.
But he produced a stunning performance with four centuries and five further breaks of 50 or more to oust Tour Championship winner Maguire.

Trump took total control at 12-5 after the first day in Sheffield, helped by a run of winning eight straight frames.
