Matt Waxman opened to 600.

"You're raising a lot for someone with a dinky little stack!" said tablemate Galen Hall. Waxman's raise eventually got through.

"One time," he said, showing {q-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}.

"That's a decent hand," said Hall.

"You called me out!" said Waxman.

"I know, I wanted people to come after you," replied Hall.

"I'm ok with it," said Waxman.
