We picked up the action on this hand with the board reading {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} between Shawn Buchanan and Matt Waxman. After Waxman checked, Buchanan bet 21,000. Waxman check-raised to 47,500 and Buchanan called.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts}. With 84,500 behind, Waxman took a few moments and then checked. Buchanan mentioned possibly betting, but then said, "I don't want to valuetown myself," and checked behind.

Waxman turned over the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, but lost to Buchanan's {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.
