Mike Matusow was all in on the flop and was called by both David Benyamine and Greg Jamison. The turn and river were checked.

Mike starts screaming, "No! Not the queen. No queen."

Benyamine throws out the {Q-Clubs}

and shows the {2-Spades}

for a set of queens. Matusow looks at his cards, gets wide eyed and starts jumping like a school child. "Oh Crap! Oh Crap! I rivered the nut flush! I rivered the nut flush!" Matusow turned over the {K-Diamonds}

for the nut flush, and then starts running around the table. Everyone started cheering and clapping for 'The Mouth'.

Mike Matusow Eliminated in 5th Place ($138,062)

[user67765]

After tripling up, it all came crashing down very quickly for Mike Matusow. He lost a big pot against Greg Jamison on a board of {4-Diamonds}

where Matusow called all the way until the river before eventually folding his cards.

After that hand he was left with 290,000 chips and got them all in on a flop of {K-Clubs}

against Toto Leonidas.

Leonidas held {A-Hearts}

for the lead in the hand as Matusow tabled {A-Spades}

.

The turn was the {J-Clubs}

and the crowd waited anxiously for Matusow to spike something on the river but it was a little anticlimactic as the {8-Diamonds}

left Leonidas with the scooped pot much to the disappointment of the crowd on the rail.

Mike Matusow exits in 5th place for $138,062 in prize money.

Benyamine's Huge Rush

[user67765]

It's tough to stop a guy who is a seasoned professional, relentlessly aggressive and catches cards. David Benyamine has just gone on a hellacious rush to surge to a massive chip lead.

In the first hand he caught Greg Jamison bluffing on a board of {Q-Hearts}

. Jamison mucked his cards as Benyamine showed {8-Diamonds}

.

Next hand the action was checked to the river in a battle of the blinds with Toto Leonidas. Benyamine caught a set of deuces on the river and Leonidas called the value bet.

Finally Jason Gray tried to make a stand against Benyamine's aggression. Benyamine raised from the button and Gray called from the big blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}

and Gray led out with a bet and Benyamine called. The turn was the {A-Diamonds}

and again Gray bet and Benyamine called. The river was the {4-Spades}

and Gray checked, Benyamine bet and Gray called.

Benyamine said "No low" as he showed {4-Diamonds}

for quads! Gray threw his cards into the muck in disgust as Benyamine storms to a massive chip lead. He now has more than half of the chips in play with about 2.8 million!
