Waxman in Trouble

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

We're on the unofficial final table bubble, and Matt Waxman is in trouble after just losing a big pot to Ken Demlakian.

We caught the action on the flop showing {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} when Waxman bet 135,000 and Demlakian raied to 280,000. Waxman called and on the {5-Spades} turn Demlakian moved all in after Waxman had checked.

Waxman had 855,000 chips left and he eventually folded.

Watson Makes Another Good Call

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Randy Kritzer raised to 135,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Matt Waxman and Mike Watson on the button and in the big blind respectively. The {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop saw Watson check, Kritzer bet 105,000 and Waxman call.

Watson then check-raised to 400,000, Kritzer called, and Waxman got out of the way to make it heads-up action to the {Q-Diamonds} turn, which both players checked. When the {Q-Hearts} paired the board on the river, Watson checked and Kritzer bet 300,000.

Watson thought long and hard before calling with the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a counterfeited two pair that turns into queens and tens, and it was good as Kritzer showed a missed club flush draw.

McAllister Tanks into Break

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Phillip McAllister limped the button, and he and Tony Gregg and Timothy Ulmer saw {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop for the minimum price. Action checked to McAllister, who bet 40,000. Only Gregg called. Check-check on the {q-Clubs} and the {q-Diamonds} double-paired the board. Gregg checked again, and McAllister fired 50,000. Gregg came out raising with 290,000, prompting some concern from McAllister. He ruffled his hair and muttered to himself as he tanked a few minutes into the break before releasing.

Eldridge, Ulmer Tangle

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Before the break, David Eldridge and Timothy Ulmer played a couple of pots, each taking one down.

In the first, Ulmer made it 100,000 on the button and Eldridge called in the big blind. Eldridge checked the {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop, and Ulmer bet 100,000 more. Eldridge made it 220,000, and Ulmer called fairly fast. Check-check on the {7-Spades}, and the {a-Hearts} arrived. Eldridge checked and folded to 225,000 from Ulmer.

The next hand, Ulmer opened for 80,000 in the cutoff and both blinds called. Everyone checked the flop and the board read {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} on fourth. Ulmer bet 160,000 after two checks, and Eldridge raised to 360,000, which won him the pot.
