The Force (A)Wakeman(s)
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
There are five tables remaining in satellite city while the other half has already broke and immediately filled with cash game tables. Matthew Wakeman started with a rather short stack but has since built a massive stack. As per Martin Finger on the same table, Wakeman and table neighbor Alex Lee Lin Hwaa were involved in a battle button versus small blind and Wakeman called a three-bet with pocket eights to flop a set. They got it in on the river when the board paired and Lee tank-called before mucking.
