Matt Matros Eliminated in 78th Place ($77,200)

Matt Matros - 78th Place

David Saab raised to 100,000 from the cutoff before Matt Matros moved all in for about 600,000 from the small blind. Saab thought for a moment before making the call tabling {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

"Wow that's a great call" said Matros and he flipped over {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Saab commented, "Well that's bad for me" as Matros had picked up outs to counterfeit Saab's baby pair.

However the turn and river bricked {9-Spades}, {4-Spades} to leave Matros heading to the rail in 78th place for $77,200 in prize money.

After the hand, Saab sits with over 2.3 million chips.
