"It's a Conspiracy!"

[user40108]

Mike Matusow, who has yet to really get involved too much today, was recently overheard talking about his run of luck here on day 3.

"They raise my blind 25 times in a row...then I get a walk and have two aces," said Matusow before he paused to look around for any cameras. "It's a f*ck*n conspiracy!" joked "The Mouth."

Couer's Cooler

MarcC

Three players saw a {6-Spades}

flop. It's checked to Christopher Olson who bet 18,000 before Jeffrey Roth moved all in. The action didn't stop there though as the third player involved, Sylvain Coeur, raised again to 70,000, but this was not enough to isolate Roth as Olson made the call.

The turn {A-Diamonds}

saw Coeur bet 100,000 before Olson moved all in. Coeur made the call with {5-Clubs}

for the flopped nuts. Olson tabled {4-Diamonds}

for a flopped set, but in the worst shape of all was Roth who had {J-Spades}

.

The river came {Q-Spades}

before the huge pot was pushed Coeur's way. He's up to 485,000 now whereas Olson is low with 50,000 and Roth is eliminated.
