Matt Waxman Loses an Early Flip

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Action folded around to Matt Waxman on the button, and he raised it up to 400. Paul Snead was in the big blind and three-bet to 1,500. Waxman asked how much he had behind, and Snead confirmed he had about 7,200. Waxman moved all in and Snead called.

Snead was at risk with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Waxman tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a coin flip.

"Good luck", said Waxman. The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, keeping Waxman ahead with two sixes and a straight draw. The turn, however, was the {k-Diamonds} and Snead took the lead with a pair of kings. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Snead held on to double up, leaving Waxman with a very short stack.
