Giang Waxed

On the flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Chau Giang checked and Matt Waxman bet 1,800. Giang moved all in for 8,475 and Waxman called after a minute or so.

Waxman: {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Giang: {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The turn came the {9-Hearts} and the river the {3-Spades}. Both players held trip nines, but Waxman's jack kicker played to give him the winning hand and eliminate Giang from the tournament.
