Waxman Always Wanted to Do That

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jason Mercier - Eliminated
Jason Mercier - Eliminated

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: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Mercier: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Waxman had Mercier dominated, and remained ahead when the flop fell {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The {9-Clubs} 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 {k-Clubs} 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.
