Sawayanagi Spars With Waxman

Liam Gannon

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Matthew Waxman opened to 6,000 from middle position to see Daichi Sawayanagi three-bet to 18,000 in the hijack, and only Waxman called.

The flop rolled out 10♥8♦4♠, and Waxman check-called a bet of 13,000 from Sawayanagi.

Both players checked the turn 5♠ to the river J♥, where Sawayanagi bet 52,000 after Waxman checked.

Waxman spent a couple of minutes pondering his decision, but in the end he opted to fold his hand, ceding the pot to Sawayanagi.

At another table, Benjamin Krauss was eliminated.
