Waki Holds to Double

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Mark Radoja opened the button to 8,000 only to have Yasuhiro Waki three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind. Radoja pushed a stack of 25,000-denomination chips into the pot and Waki called off his 119,000.

Radoja: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Waki: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

With Waki in dominating shape, the {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board would ensure his double to 239,000 as Radoja slipped back to 361,000 in chips.

As Waki was pushed the pot, he went on a celebratory rant running round the room before the Tournament Director issued him his last warning on excessive celebration.
