We heard Jerry Wong announce himself all in and headed over to take a look, with a scan of the scene showing he had shoved for 29,100 after Matt Waxman checked the river.

The board read {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the pot contained right around 47,000 at the time. Waxman held about 100,000 behind and could afford to make the call, but the experienced pro took his time to assess the situation from all angles. He shot Wong a couple of looks while tanking, before slowly cutting out a calling stack and moving it into the middle.

Wong quickly tabled his {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} secure in the fact that Waxman's tank was a one-pair affair, and sure enough the latter's hand went promptly into the muck.
