Mike Matusow Eliminated in 30th Place ($193,000)

[user37786]

And this one is gonna hurt for awhile. Paul Snead raised to 200,000 and Mike Matusow reraised to 660,000 from the big blind. Snead called, and they saw an {A-Diamonds}

flop. Both players checked, and when the {9-Hearts}

came on the turn Matusow bet 500,000. Snead moved all in, Matusow called, and that's when Mike learned that his {A-Hearts}

had been overtaken by Snead's {A-Clubs}

.

The

[user67765]

Garrett Beckman opened the action with a preflop raise to 175,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Dennis Phillips who called in the cutoff. The blinds folded and the two players went heads up to a flop of {7-Hearts}

.

Both players checked and saw a turn of {9-Clubs}

. Beckman fired out a bet of 280,000 before Phillips made it 600,000 to go. Beckman moved all in and Phillips snap-called.

Beckman held {A-Clubs}

for overcards with the nut flush draw, but would need to hit as Phillips showed {Q-Hearts}

for the straight.

The river bricked the {4-Hearts}

and Beckman becomes our 31st-place finisher, good for a $193,000 payday.

Point/Counterpoint

[user37786]

Darus Suharto raised to 160,000 and Chris Klodnicki reraised to 600,000. Suharto then bumped it a wee bit, to 2.1 million.

That's when Klodnicki open-folded {A-Diamonds}

. Suharto showed his pocket kings and said, "You owe me two now," referring to an earlier time when he showed his hand after Klodnicki folded.

As Suharto scooped the pot, there was a bit of confusion as a single 25,000 chip was sitting in-between Suharto and Dean Hamrick. They weren't sure who it belonged to, so Suharto and Hamrick agreed to Roshambo for it, until floorman Steve Frezer came over and said, "Ah, no, you're not doing that." They went to check the security cameras to find where the chip's true home is.
