Waxman Loses Some Preflop

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player opened to 725 and was the action was three-bet by another player who made it 2,000 to go.

Matt Waxman counted out some chips and tossed in a four-bet, making it 4,500. The original raiser mucked his hand and the action was back on the three-bettor. He sat still for a moment before shoving out a large stack of orange T5,000 and yellow T1,000 chips. This five-bet had Waxman covered, and he eventually tossed his hand into the muck, awarding his opponent the pot.
