Chiu, Matusow Chop

All the chips were in on the turn with Matusow holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} against Chiu's {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts} as Matusow takes the high with two pair and Chiu makes a low to survive. Chop it up!

Matusow Rivers Nuts

In a battle of the blinds Mike Matusow completed and David Benyamine checked his option.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Matusow checked, Benyamine bet and Matusow called. The turn of {6-Diamonds} was checked by both players. The river brought the {3-Hearts} and Matusow bet out. Benyamine flashed {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-?}-X and folded as Matusow says "That was a pretty good river for me...it gave me the NUTS!" as he flashed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}-X.

Matusow is now back in contention with about 420,000 chips.

Katchalov In Trouble

We haven't given many reports on Eugene Katchalov on this final table and it's for very good reason - he has hardly played a pot! He has sat back and watched as the short stacks battled and doubled up without anyone being eliminated. He's slowly been blinded down and now sits with only 90,000 chips in front of him. He's going to have to make a move sometime soon if he wants to avoid being the next eliminated.

Ram Misses Double Up But Survives

Ram Vaswani had the last of his chips in the middle on the turn against Toto Leonidas.

The board read {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} with Vaswani showing {7-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} against the {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs}{K-Hearts} of Leonidas.

The river was an interesting {10-Hearts} as it gave both players the same hand using the A-7 as they chopped up the pot.

Eugene Katchalov Doubles Up

Eugene Katchalov was all in for his last 70,000 and Mike Matusow saw only an ace in the big blind and called.

Matusow: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Katchalov: {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Katchalov makes a full house to find a much needed double up!
