Wax On, Wax Off, Waxman Out

[user4144]
Matthew Waxman

On the very last hand of the night, we lost Matthew Waxman at the hands of Erle Mankin. With Makin opening to 37,000 with {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Waxman moved all in for 169,000 with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} to put the decision back on Mankin.

After mulling over his options for a minute, Mankin commented, "I want to play the shootout tomorrow, so I don't want to come back with just 10,000 chips. If it wasn't for that I would have called you already."

Despite his fears, Mankin did indeed make the call, and his bravery was rewarded as he successfully dodged Waxman's six outs on an ensuing {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades} board. As a result, Waxman exits at the death, whilst Mankin inserts around 442,000 into his bag rather than two orange 10,000 chips.
