flop but Steve Zolotow flopped a set with {A-Clubs}

and that was enough to take the pot and send Freddy out of the tournament.

Mike Matusow Suffers a Big Hit

[user37786]

Stud-8:

Mike Matusow had kings up and a king-high flush draw going into the river against Lyle Berman. But Berman made aces and sevens on the river, and when Matusow's hand didn't improve Berman took down the 130,000, pushing his stack up to 320,000. Losing that hand left Matusow with just 28,000.
