Waxman Takes On Toye
This hand started during the previous level, but it bled about seven minutes into the current level. It began with Matt Waxman opening to 36,000 from the cutoff seat, and Robert Toye came along with the call from the small blind.
The two men took a flop, and the action went check-check to the turn. Toye checked again, but he check-raised from 34,000 to 80,000, and Waxman called the extra amount to see the river. Toye loaded up and fired 145,000 at the pot, and Waxman spent several minutes agonizing in the tank before he slid the calling chips in.
"Queens full," came the announcement as Toye tabled . Waxman uncapped his cards and mucked in slow motion, slipping to about 960,000. That's still ahead of Toye, but he's catching up with 780,000 in front of him now.
