Waxman's Chips Melting
We just caught the tail end of the pot, but we watched Matt Waxman call a 120,000-chip river bet on a board. We never got to see Waxman's cards; Doug Lang tabled to win the pot and knock Waxman down to about 680,000.
We walked to the other table for a second, but when we returned, Waxman was involved in another pot. The flop showed when we joined, and Jonathon Poche checked. Waxman bet 34,000, then called a shove for about 150,000 total. Poche showed up for the up-and-down draw, and Waxman's was in front.
Until the turn. The dropped, and Waxman was drawing dead. The river was nothing more than a dig, and granting that double slides Waxman down even further. He's lost almost half his stack in those last two hands, down now to about 520,000.
