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

Mike Matusow - 30th Place
Mike Matusow - 30th Place
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} {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} 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} {J-Spades} had been overtaken by Snead's {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

The {K-Clubs} came on the river, and with that Mike Matusow's run in the Main Event came to an end.
