Brecher Bolstered
Level 14
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
On a flop, Matt Waxman check-called a bet of 7,000 from Steve Brecher, and he check-called another 13,000 after the turn. The river came the , and Brecher put out a healthy bet of 30,000 after a third check in front of him. Waxman spent nearly all of eternity in the tank, but he eventually settled on a reluctant call.
Brecher had the goods. The second-nuts in fact. He showed up for top set, and it was easily good enough to take down the pot. It moves Brecher up to 180,000 or so, while Waxman tumbles back to about 45,000.
