Waxman's Chips Melting

Level 23 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Matt Waxman
Matt Waxman

We just caught the tail end of the pot, but we watched Matt Waxman call a 120,000-chip river bet on a {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {A-Clubs} board. We never got to see Waxman's cards; Doug Lang tabled {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} to win the pot and knock Waxman down to about 680,000.

We walked to the other table for a second, but when we returned, Waxman was involved in another pot. The flop showed {5-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} when we joined, and Jonathon Poche checked. Waxman bet 34,000, then called a shove for about 150,000 total. Poche showed up {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for the up-and-down draw, and Waxman's {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} was in front.

Until the turn. The {6-Diamonds} dropped, and Waxman was drawing dead. The river {Q-Spades} was nothing more than a dig, and granting that double slides Waxman down even further. He's lost almost half his stack in those last two hands, down now to about 520,000.
