Level 29
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
From the button, Matthew Waxman opened the pot to 100,000, and Jesus Cabrera once again three-bet to 300,000. This time, however, there would be no call from Waxman. He four-bet to 800,000 only to see Cabrera shove all in for 2.11 million. A snap-call later, and the cards are on their backs:
Waxman: 
Cabrera: 
The 
flop missed Cabrera, but the 
turn added a few outs to the chop.
There would be no chop. The 
struck the river like a bolt of lightning, so big a surprise that it took a moment for anyone to react to it. Cabrera was in disbelief, spiking his three-outer to save his tournament life and tally the double up. With it has come the chip lead:
Cabrera - 4.23 million
Waxman - 2.825 million
