Matthews on the March

[user135779]

Mick Matthews' friends and family up in the small country town of Nagambie (about two hours north of Melbourne) will be pleased to know he's still in, now on 139,000 in chips after eliminating another opponent.

The player had just been moved to the table and woke up with {a-Spades}

{a-Spades}

{q-Diamonds}

in the first hand he played, only to run into Matthews' {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{k-Clubs}

.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{j-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

, improving neither hand and we edge one place closer to the money.
