Waxman Always Wanted to Do That
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Matt Waxman opened to 3,200 out of the cutoff, Jason Mercier moved all in for 23,800 in the big blind, and Waxman called.
Waxman: 
Mercier: 
Waxman had Mercier dominated, and remained ahead when the flop fell 
. The 
turned, giving Waxman two pair, but Mercier could chop the pot if the river brought a ten, because both players would have aces and tens with a nine kicker. The 
on the river changed nothing though, and Mercier was eliminated.
"I've always wanted to knock Jason Mercier out of a tournament," Waxman said, grinning after the hand.
