Three-way all in. Kenny Tran raised 2,400 from UTG. Mike Matusow moved all in from the cutoff for 24,000. Stephen Cesaro moved all in for 20,000 from the button. Tran tanked then called.

Tran: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Cesaro: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Matusow: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The flop was {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Matusow picked up a nut flush draw. The turn was the {3-Spades}. Kenny Tran blurted out, "Queen of spades!"

The dealer burned, then dealt the river card, and the {Q-Spades} spiked. Matusow won the pot. He busted Stephen Cesaro and doubled through Kenny Tran. Matusow increased his stack to 75,000. Tran slipped to 35,000.

Brendan Fevola moved all in from the cutoff for 13,800. Max Bracht called from the big blind.

Fevola: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Bracht: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and although Brendan Fevola turned a set, Bracht rivered a flush to bust him.

When the fourth club spiked on the river, one of Bracht's mates on the rail yelled, "Yeah!"

An angry Brendan Fevola barked, "What the f--- are you 'yeah-ing' about?"

Brendan Fevola has been eliminated.

More Tables of Death

Adelaide's Rayan Nathan is walking among the giants today. The young Aussie pro is sitting amidst this murderer's row: Greg "FBT" Mueller, Erick Lindgren, Jonathan Little, and Stig Top Rasmussen. Gary Benson and J.J. Liu are side-by-side at Table 18, while Julius Colman, Allen Cunningham, and Tiffany Williamson slug it out at Table 24. Michael Binger and Tony G are both at Table 20, while Table 6 should be a hotbed of conversation, with Mike Matusow, Kenna James, and Kenny Tran all seated together.
