Waxman Heads to Dinner with a Nub

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Matt Waxman bet 1,500 on a board of {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts} in the cutoff, and the big blind put in a T5,000 chip and apparently said he was all in. However, the players agreed the chip had hit the felt before the all-in announcement. The player trying to jam vehemently protested this, but the supervisor who was called over ruled it was a call.

On the {5-Hearts} river, Waxman folded to a shove.

"I didn't have any outs anyway," he said. "But when the chip hits first, it's a call."
