Monnette Puts Waxman In Tough Spot On River
Omaha 8
John Monnette raised from the hijack seat and Matt Waxman called from the big blind. The flop came down 
and Waxman check-called a bet from Monnette.
On the 
turn, both players checked and the 
landed on the river. Waxman checked and Monnette bet. Waxman tanked for a bit and even pump-faked a fold with his cards at one point. He also commented about how a lot of river cards have been putting him in touch spots. Then he made the call.
Monette tabled the 
for two pair, nines and threes. Waxman had that beat with the 
and won the pot. Neither player had a low.
