Waxman Chops For His Tournament Life

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

With a flop showing {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} Matt Waxman and Leonardo Pires checked to Mike Watson who bet 125,000. Pires check-raised to 350,000 from the small blind and Waxman moved all in for 906,000.

Watson folded and Pires made the call right away.

Pires: {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Waxman: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Pires had flopped a straight, and Waxman was looking for running cards to double up, or a seven for the chopped pot. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the pot was chopped up after the {Q-Hearts} completed the board.
