Tommy Boy

We caught the tail end of a collision between World Series of Poker bracelet winners, and after consulting with a fellow member of the esteemed press corps, we can fill you in on the identity of the tournament's new hero.

Matt Waxman opened to 4,000 to start the action and Matt Glantz flatted from the button. Athanasios Polychronopoulos then three-bet to 14,000 from the small blind, with both of his fellow pros coming along to take the flop three ways.

Waxman led out for 18,700 to fold Glantz, but Polychronopoulos stuck around to take the on the turn. Polychronopoulos siezed the initiative with a 40,000 wager on fourth street, prompting a tank-call from Waxman. The river card came to
complete the board and Waxman made a 41,500 wager after deliberating for a long moment.

A long tank later saw Polychronopoulos look Waxman up, with the latter tabling for a busted bluff. Polychronopoulos - who his friends know as "Tommy" - tabled for bottom pair (and a huge pair when you really think about it).
