Dalal Melts Waxman's Cowboys

[user66118]

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dany Dalal opened with a middle-position raise, and Matthew Waxman three-bet an additional 21,000 on top from the big blind. Dalal called, and off they went to the flop.

It came {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} , and Waxman knocked the table. After a moment, Dalal announced that he was all in for 102,500, and he was instantly called with his hand caught in the cookie jar:

Waxman: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Dalal: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

"Come on, ten!" Dalal pleaded, but the turn was a blank {6-Spades} . The river, however, brought him exactly what he had wished for. The {10-Clubs} binked the board, and Dalal clapped his hands together in surprised satisfaction. His unlikely double brings him back to life with about 275,000 chips, while Waxman has lost the chip lead as he falls to 365,000.
