Matros Out

Men "the Master" Nguyen pushed all in from the cutoff for 103,000 with {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Matt Matros called from the big blind with {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The flop came {8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Matros was still ahead. But the {Q-Hearts} on the turn meant his hand had been counterfeited. The river didn't help, and Nguyen doubled up to 215,000.

Down to just 16,000, Matros soon had to gamble with 6-5 suited and was eliminated.
