Waxman Busts Hawkins

Matt Waxman opened to 3,200 from early position and was called by AJ Jejelowo in the cutoff, Maurice Hawkins in the small blind, and Brian Roberts in the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and action was checked to Waxman. He bet 4,600, only getting called by Hawkins. The {2-Diamonds} hit the turn and Hawkins shoved for 29,500, sending Waxman into the tank for a good three minutes. Ultimately, he opted to call. Hawkins showed {4-Spades}{2-Spades}, having grabbed the lead on the turn against Waxman's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The river brought the {8-Hearts}, though, counterfeiting Hawkins' deuces and giving Waxman aces and eights to score the elimination.
