Bill Stradley Eliminated in 13th Place ($7,349)
Level 24
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Matthew Waxman opened to 38,000 from middle position, and big blind Bill Stradley called about 25% of his stack to have a look at a flop. It came , and Stradley open-shoved the remaining ~120,000 into the middle. Waxman wasted no time calling, and he had his man in big trouble as the cards were shown down:
Waxman:
Stradley:
The turn left Stradley one card from the door, and the meant handshakes and "good luck"s all around. The stop-and-go with eight-three fails to get Stradley through the hand, and he has been sent to the payout desk in 13th place.
