No Miracle for Matibag

Melvin Matibag - 20th Place
Melvin Matibag - 20th Place
It's been an entertaining run through the tournament for local player Melvin "the Miracle" Matibag, but he's finally been done in. After Noh Tae Jun opened the pot to 10,000, Matibag moved all in for a total of 23,000. Van Marcus moved all in behind him, folding everyone else.

Matibag: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Marcus: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Matibag was looking for lots of paint on the board, but didn't get it. The board ran out {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. Marcus' tens held to send Matibag to the rail in 20th place.
