Alex Queen raises from the hijack to 135,000, and Veerab Zakarian reraises from the button to 375,000. Matthew Waxman (pictured) calls from the big blind, and Queen also calls.

All three players check to the turn on a board of Heart 10Heart 9Club 7Spade 7, and it checks to Zakarian, who bets 300,000. Waxman calls all in for 250,000, and Queen quickly folds.

Waxman turns over Spade 3Diamond 3 for two pair, sevens and threes, but Zakarian turns over Club JClub 9 for a higher two pair, nines and sevens. Waxman needs to catch a three on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the Heart 6, and Zakarian wins the pot with the higher two pair to eliminate Waxman in 13th place.

Veerab Zakarian  –  13,650,000  (228 bb)
Matthew Waxman  –  Eliminated in 13th Place  ($43,028)
