Mike Matusow - 5th Place

After tripling up, it all came crashing down very quickly for Mike Matusow. He lost a big pot against Greg Jamison on a board of {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

where Matusow called all the way until the river before eventually folding his cards.

After that hand he was left with 290,000 chips and got them all in on a flop of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

against Toto Leonidas.

Leonidas held {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

for the lead in the hand as Matusow tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

.

The turn was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and the crowd waited anxiously for Matusow to spike something on the river but it was a little anticlimactic as the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

left Leonidas with the scooped pot much to the disappointment of the crowd on the rail.

Mike Matusow exits in 5th place for $138,062 in prize money.
