King of the Nub

David Benyamine was just moved to a table adjacent to Mike Matusow.

"David Benyamine! You're still in this thing?!" cries Matusow. Benyamine just shakes his head and smiles.

"Don't worry. I've got 7,000. I'm king of the nub!" says Matusow.

"I'm king of listening to the nub," says Benyamine.

Mickey Mashed

Hold'em:

Victor Ramdin turns over {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs} on a board of {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Mickey Seagle mucks and is down to 700 in chips, while Ramdin has 23,000 - and is the new chip leader.

Bryan Micon Eliminated

Stud-8:

Bryan Micon is all in on fourth street and Mike Matusow and another player call.

Micon: x-x / {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Matusow: x-x / {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: x-x / {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

The opponent bets on the side and Matusow folds.

Micon: ({K-Hearts}{9-Spades}){K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Hearts}-x
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The opponent's two pair is enough to send Micon home.
