Michael Cavanaugh raised from the button to 25,000, Matthew Waxman reraised from the small blind to 80,000, and Cavanaugh tanked for a long time before he four-bet all in for about 150,000.

Waxman called with 4s4h, and Cavanaugh turned over QsJc. Cavanaugh needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 10h9s9dAd2d — Cavanaugh flopped an open-ended straight draw, but improved no further. Waxman won the pot with his pocket fours to eliminate Cavanaugh in seventh place.
