Charles McGowan Eliminated ($2,959)

Stud-8:

Charles McGowan is all in on third street, and Steven Diano and Arash Ghaneian check it down the rest of the way on the side:

McGowan: ({5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}){A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{Q-Spades} (muck)
Diano: ({5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}){5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Ghaneian: {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

McGowan is out and the other two split. Diano is up to 86,000 and Ghaneian has 102,000 - apparently the first to cross 100,000.

Mike Matusow Eliminated ($2,959)

Matusow Cashes Again
Omaha-8:

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Matusow is all in from the big blind for his last 6,000. David Gee calls and Steven Diano calls.

The turn is {9-Diamonds} and Gee bets. Diano raises. Gee reraises and Diano calls.

The river is {6-Hearts} and Gee bets. Diano calls.

Gee shows {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and takes it all, rising his stack to 97,000. Matusow shows {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and is eliminated. Diano mucks and is down to 78,000.

Dollinger Escape Plan

Stud-8

On sixth street, Jason Dollinger, Casey Kastle and John Cutter make it three bets, putting Cutter all in. On seventh, Dollinger and Kastle make it three bets again.

Dollinger: ({4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}){5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Kastle: {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} (muck)
Cutter: ({4-Hearts}{6-Spades}){5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Dollinger gets a straight flush for high and an A-3-4-5-6- low and scoops. Dollinger climbs to 81,300.
