Lipshutz Flips For the Double
Level 21
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Waxman opened to 16,000, and Scott Lipshutz three-bet shoved from the cutoff seat. It was a total of 141,000, and the action came to Allie Prescott next. From the button, he asked Waxman how much he was playing (181,000), then settled on a fold. The blinds ducked out, too, ansd Waxman
Showdown
Waxman:
Lipshutz:
Let's race for it, shall we?
The flop smacked Lipshutz right in the dogballs. His set of eights pulled him into a massive lead with two to come, and Waxman could only catch up with running straight cards. The turn was a blank, and Waxman made a useless two pair as the river ended the hand.
After shipping that double, Waxman is left with just 40,000 chips, while Lipshutz climbs to 301,000.
