Three players saw the turn on the {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board and Matt Waxman bet 2,500 into a main pot of about 4,000. The player in middle position called and Nick Pupillo raised to 11,500.

Waxman called and they went heads-up to the {5-Clubs} river. Waxman checked and Pupillo threw out a bet of 22,000. Waxman went deep into the tank and nearly called but stopped just before he moved forward with the chips. He eventually folded and Pupillo took the pot without showdown.
