Mike Matusow Is Eliminated In 15th Place

Mike Matusow said, "It's time to triple-up or giddy-up!", and unfortunately for "The Mouth" it was the latter. He moved in the last of his chips after a {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop and was called by Mike Henrich and John Guth. Matusow's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} trailed Henrich's {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, and when the board ran out {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Guth took the low, Henrich the high, and Matusow was done for the night.

As were Phil Hellmuth's hopes to collect a $500,000 bet from Phil Ivey if Matusow won the bracelet. When Mike was eliminated, Phil stopped the 2-hour massage he'd been having and the two quietly left the tournament area together.

David Flores Wins A Big Pot From Annie Duke

Before the flop David Flores raised and Annie Duke 3-bet it, and they saw a flop of {4-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Flores bet, Duke called, and that's also how the action went after the {9-Clubs} turned and the {K-Hearts} on the river. Flores turned over a six and four for 2 pair . . . and that was enough to scoop the pot. Flores' stack soared to 400K, while Duke's slipped to 90,000.
