Brecher Bolstered

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} flop, Matt Waxman check-called a bet of 7,000 from Steve Brecher, and he check-called another 13,000 after the {6-Spades} turn. The river came the {2-Clubs}, and Brecher put out a healthy bet of 30,000 after a third check in front of him. Waxman spent nearly all of eternity in the tank, but he eventually settled on a reluctant call.

Brecher had the goods. The second-nuts in fact. He showed up {Q-} {Q-} for top set, and it was easily good enough to take down the pot. It moves Brecher up to 180,000 or so, while Waxman tumbles back to about 45,000.
