With approximately 30,000 in the pot and the board showing {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Miles Austin check-called a 18,500 bet from Matt Waxman. The river was the {J-Hearts} and after Austin checked again, Waxman moved all in.

Austin leaned back and placed a bottle of water on the ground next to his chair. He shuffled chips in his right hand as if he were a touring poker professional. He looked the part with a hoodie pulled low over the brim of his hat, his eyes locked in on Waxman.

Waxman, was literally that. Not moving. Looking straight down. Austin stacked the rest of his chips into one large stack and then unstacked them. Deciding he didn't want to risk his tournament life with the hand he held, he folded, and Waxman took the pot down.
