Mike Matusow Is Eliminated In 15th Place

[user37786]

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}

{4-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

flop and was called by Mike Henrich and John Guth. Matusow's {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

trailed Henrich's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

, and when the board ran out {7-Spades}

{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.
