Matthew Waxman raised under the gun to 30,000, Nohad Teliani reraised from the button to 80,000, and Waxman thought for a while before he moved all in for about 480,000.

Teliani called rather quickly with 9s9c, and Waxman turned over AhKh. Waxman needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qd5d4d7c3c, and the pocket nines held up for Teliani to win the pot and eliminate Waxman in fifth place.

Nohad Teliani  –  1,125,000  (75 bb)
Matthew Waxman  –  Eliminated in 5th Place  ($2,455)

With four players remaining, the average chip stack is about 565,000 (38 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $3,165 each.
