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.

Waxman Plays Cards Better than Winning Prop Bets

Chris Tryba and Matthew Waxman are seated at the same table and are filling their time with prop bets. Waxman is 0-3 and down $100 to Tryba for missing water bottle tosses into a nearby trash can.

"I had the distance perfect," Waxman lamented.

Bazely Busted

We didn't catch the hand but Jacob Bazely has been eliminated. We're assuming that we'll see him at the 7 p.m. flight.
