Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mike Matusow started his match late against Dario Minieri due to a broken pair of glasses. He couldn't see danger at the end of the match when he needed to dodge it most. The shorter-stacked Matusow moved all in on a flop of {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

holding

{10-?}

{7-?}

. Minieri quickly called with pocket kings, a hand that threatened to send Matusow to the rail.

The turn fell {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. "That's not a good card," understated Matusow. The river {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

wasn't a good card for Matusow either. It sealed his elimination and wrapped up the last remaining match in the Clubs Bracket. Minieri can head back to his hotel for some rest before tomorrow's Round Two match against Daniel Negreanu.
