Doug Lang Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,263)

[user66118]

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Doug Lang and Matt Waxman have been engaged in a bit of halfway-good-natured banter since they became next-door neighbors. Most of the chatting has taken place when they share the blinds, and we pick up another such pot as Lang opened to 44,000 from the small. In the big, Waxman three-bet to 95,000, and Lang was having none of it. He shoved for about 580,000, and Waxman made the call to put Lang at risk.

Showdown
Lang: {A-Spades} {5-Hearts}
Waxman: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Lang had been snapped off, and he'd find no help from the dealer as the board came {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} to send him on his way. He'll take a pay bump up over $9,000, and we're down to our final 11 players.
