Petrov Flushes Waxman Out
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 6♦3♦9♥ with a bit over 10,000 already in the middle, Mikhail Petrov checked from under the gun to Matt Waxman, who bet 5,000 on the button. Petrov responded with a check-raise to 10,700 and Waxman paused before clicking it back to 16,000 and change.
Petrov shoved and Waxman called all in for less to put himself at risk.
Matt Waxman: A♣A♠
Mikhail Petrov: A♦Q♦
Waxman had the best of it with his aces, but the 4♦ turn immediately completed Petrov's flush draw and left Waxman drawing dead.
An irrelevant Q♠ river made Waxman's elimination official and Petrov grew his stack to 230,000.
