Level 20
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
In the cutoff, Matthew Waxman raised to 14,000, and Chris Klodnicki three-bet to 40,000 from the small blind. Waxman shoved for 147,000 total, and the chip leader called off a fraction of his stack to put last week's Main Event winner to the test for his tournament life. Surprise, surprise; it was a flip.
Showdown
Waxman: 
Klodnicki: 
The 
flop was a big dry desert for Waxman's double up hopes, but things would soon improve. The 
landed on fourth street to pull him into a big lead with one to come. The river was the safe 
, and Waxman's aces up double him up to 306,000. Klodnicki takes a hit, but he can afford it; he's still got about 750,000 in front of him.
