Waigel's Ascent Continues
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ezequiel Waigel has been among the largest stacks in the room throughout the day and just took down another pot, this time against Elio Fox.
Fox opened to 50,000 on the button and Waigel defended his big blind.
The 
flop saw Waigel check to Fox, who led out for 40,000. Waigel made the call to send the two players to the turn.
Waigel opted to take over the betting lead on the 
turn, firing off 75,000. Fox thought for some time but did end up smooth calling.
The 
river did little to persuade Waigel to slow down as he counted out a stack of chips before pushing 135,000 into the middle. Fox thought long and hard but in the end decided he could not beat Waigel's hand and released his own.
