Waxman Pinched By Akkari's Crabs

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Guillermo Garcia Gomez de Barreda opened the pot to 2,100, and Andre Akkari flatted in position. That brought the action around to Matt Waxman, and he squeezed his last 18,000 or so into the middle with {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}. That folded the initial raiser, but Akkari took just a minute to consider before dropping the call into the pot, turning over pocket threes. Race!

The board was a big, blank desert for Waxman, and his failure to improve the overcards means his EPT Barcelona Main Event is history. He's still loitering around here though, flipping through his iPhone and waiting for the 4:00 PM side event to get here.
