Bosh for Boshoff

Barry Russell

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There roughly 7,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 3♠6♣9♣, Matthew Waxman who was in early position bet 3,000, Thomas Boshoff called on the button.

Action checked through on the 6♥ turn. Waxman checked once more on the Q♣ river, prompting Boshoff to fire 15,000. After a brief tank, Waxman made the call only to be shown the bad news, as Boshoff tabled A♦Q♠ for top pair, top kicker.

Waxman was visibly frustrated as he counted out the chips.
