Matthew Waxman Eliminated in 3rd Place ($104,770)
Level 28
: 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Francesco Barbaro opened to 100,000 on the button and Matt Waxman made it 150,000 in the big blind. Call.
The flop came down and Waxman bet 50,000 before Barbaro raised, Waxman made the call. The turn saw Waxman check-call a bet of 100,000 to see the river.
Waxman checked once more and Barbaro put out 100,000 to cover Waxman's remaining chips.
"One in a bazillion?" sighed Waxman. Finally he called only for Barbaro to turn over for the nut straight. Waxman's hand of went into the muck and Barbaro goes into heads up with a huge chip lead.
