Mike Summers Eliminated in 6th Place ($22,704)
Mike Summers raised to 90,000 from the hijack seat, and Matthew Waxman three-bet to 155,000 from the button. Summers called the extra bit, and it was heads up to the flop.
When the dealer rolled out , Summers elected to ship his last ~500,000 into the middle. Waxman snap-called, and just like that, a pot of well over 1 million chips was piled in the middle with Summers' tournament life hanging in the balance.
Showdown
Summers: (flush draw)
Waxman: (top set)
The turn did nothing to help Summers' cause, looking for a diamond and a diamond only to stay alive. The river was the right color, but the was the wrong suit. Summers can not catch up to Waxman's aces, ending his day as the 6th-place finisher. The pay bump takes him up over $20,000 in profit for three days of work.
Waxman is now the big leader with 2.74 million chips, nearly 40% of the total in play.
