Angel Pagan Eliminated in 15th Place ($13,805)
Matt Waxman was under the gun and opened the action with a min-raise. Action folded around to Angel Pagan in the big blind and he defended. The 
flop saw Pagan check, Waxman bet 18,000 and Pagan wake up with a big all-in check-raise to roughly 280.000. Waxman thought for well over a minute before making the call.
Waxman: 
Pagan: 
Both players had flopped a pair, but Waxman's aces had him well out in front. The 
turn wasn't particularly interesting, and it meant Pagan needed to catch either a seven or a jack on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. It was a blank for Pagan and he was bounced in 15th place.
"Merry Christmas," Koon said after Pagan left the table and Waxman was stacking his chips.
"I work for my Christmas," Waxman replied with a big smile on his face.
