When Annie Duke made trip fours and held a higher flush draw. Matzura walked through the rail and got a big hug from her father, who said, "It's okay, this was just the first one, it wasn't your last."

And as the dinner break started Annie Duke came over to tell Suzie how well she played, after the two battled it out at the same table most of the afternoon.

An Eager Observer

Phil Hellmuth is pacing along the rail, chatting into his cellphone and making frequent trips over the Mike Matusow's table to check The Mouth's progress. Phil announced to the crowd that he stands to collect a $480K bet from Phil Ivey if Mike wins the bracelet, so he's a most interested spectator.

OK, A Few Quotes

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mike "The Mouth" Matusow isn't too impressed with the play of the Prince of Docness. After the PoD check-raised on the turn and river with the board showing {5-Spades}

and showed down a 7-high straight (which was good enough to win the high in a 3-way pot), Mike got a bit exercised:

"You check-raised that like a stone-cold idiot," the Mouth said. He jumped up to tell a railbird, "He doesn't even think! He's on acid!" When another player was moved to their table and said hello to Matusow, the Mouth pointed at the Prince and said, "You can't play worse than this guy."

The Prince of Docness is our chip leader with 147,000.
