With the board reading and just over 20,000 in the pot, Chun Law led out from early position for 20,000 and was called by Dong Suh to his left. Jeff Lisandro was in the big blind and raised all in for 73,000. Law took a moment to think but folded his hand, while Suh took over three minutes before the clock was eventually called. With five seconds left, Suh finally shoved his remaining chips into the middle, which turned out to be the exact same amount as Lisandro.
Lisandro:
Suh:
Lisandro was way out in front with top set and a flush draw, and Suh thought he was drawing dead. The on the turn gave Suh some outs. but the on the river gave Lisandro a full house and the pot.
"I thought your range was more than top set," said a disappointed Suh.
"It was until I went on a cooler. Now that's all I play," answered Lisandro, which got a laugh from everyone on the table.

Matt Waxman is looking for his second WSOP gold bracelet and his first since 2013. He came into Day 2 with an average stack and has continued to rake in pots and build his chip stack, all of which are dangerous for his opponents.
In a recent hand, the board read with around 25,000 in the pot. Waxman was in the big blind and led out for 15,000. His opponent, sitting in the cutoff position, called, and the fell on the river. Waxman moved all in, which was considered a pot-sized bet of 52,000. His opponent only had around 32,000 remaining and thought for a couple minutes before deciding to fold.
Waxman scooped another pot and is currently sitting on a healthy, above-average stack.
