Waxman Tries to Keep Pace
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
With the frenzy of action in the last level, Matt Waxman has fallen out of the chip lead without really losing any chips at all. He's doing his best to keep pace with the leaders, though, and he's just kocked William Moorer out of the tournament.
The pot began with Waxman opening to 26,000, and he called a 105,000-chip shove from Moorer. Waxman's was dominated by Moorer's , but he found some help on board. The dealer provided him some help by the time the river rolled around though, running out a board to give Waxman the come-from-behind knockout.
That's the end of Moorer's day in 15th place, and Waxman is back up to 915,000 -- still good for third place overall.
