Waxman Probes, Then Folds

The action folded around to a player in the cut-off who made it 6,500 to go. Matthew Waxman decided to apply the pressure from the small blind by three-betting to 18,800, but little did he know that his neighbor was braced to move all in from the big blind for 66,700 more.

"You probably have ace-king here," probed Waxman. "The only reason I'm even thinking about calling is because it looked like you were mucking before you did that stupid gesture."

"Ready for your headline?" smiled Waxman to your reporting team. "'Matt Waxman is a huge donkey'."

But, in the end, we'll never know if he resembles said animal in any way, as he eventually made the fold and his opponent picked up the pot.
