We passed by the table to catch the tail end of a confrontation between Matt Glantz and Matthew Waxman, with the latter coming up on the short end of the stick.

The final board {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and there was a sizable pot already built, one that appeared to contain around 30,000 or so. Glantz held the button and a bet of 17,000 was pushed up near it, as Waxman had checked the river. After finishing up his nutritious breakfast of a banana (paging Harry Kaczka), Waxman made the call to see Glantz roll over the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a turned set.

"Ahh..." said Waxman when he saw the bad news. "If I had to guess a hand there, that's the one. Nice hand sir."
