Waxman Stacks 120k

Just before the last three hands were called, Matthew Waxman got into a hefty pot with Filippo Candio, who was the only player to keep up as he bet 9,500, getting rid of those who'd shown some interest in getting to the flop. Not Candio, though, and they got past the {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} flop and the {3-Diamonds} turn (with two checks) before a large amount was wagered again by Waxman. He bet 22,900 on the {K-Clubs} river when Candio checked to him, and after a minute or so's deliberation, Candio made the call, but could never have beaten quads - Waxman showed down {A-Spades} {K-Spades}.
