Hand #240: Mike Matusow brought it in with the showing and raised when Mike Leah completed. Leah called off the remainder of his stack and the cards were tabled. Fourth gave Leah a big lead for the high, but running fours on fourth, fifth and sixth streets gave Matusow trips.
Leah seemed to know his days were numbers and was gathering his things even before seventh street was dealt. Matusow showed that he didn't improve, which meant Leah could stay alive with an ace on seventh. He wasted little time in grabbing the card and turning over the , the last card he will see in Event #13 $5,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Eight-or-Better.
