Baker Gets Value Against Waxman

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a pot of roughly 25,000 on a flop of {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} Kevin Baker bet 10,000 from early position and Matt Waxman made the call from the hijack.

The turn came the {j-Hearts} and both players checked. On the {6-Spades} river Baker bet out for 22,000. Waxman went deep in the tank but reluctantly made the call. Baker revealed {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for top pair and it was enough to win the pot as Waxman mucked.
