And the Bubble Goes On

From under the gun, Shawn Buchanan raised to 10,000. Action then folded to Matt Waxman in the big blind and he three-bet to 27,000. Buchanan called to see the flop.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Waxman checked. Buchanan bet 20,000 and Waxman check-raised all in for 92,500. Buchanan quickly called holding the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for top set. Waxman looked dejected as he rolled over the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for middle pair and a straight draw.

The turn was the {9-Spades} to give Waxman the straight. He faded Buchanan's redraw to a full house or better when the {3-Spades} fell and doubled up.
