Lehr Silences the Mouth

Matusow makes his exit
Matusow makes his exit
Mike Matusow just walked away from the tables and spat a single F-bomb. That was a pretty good one-word sumamry of what happened on the river on the hand that spelled his elimination.

With the action folded to him in the small blind, Matusow made it 25,000 to go. Keith Lehr, in the big blind, slid out a tall stack of green 25,000-denomination chips, setting Matusow all in. He made the call.

It was {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for Matusow vs. {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for Lehr. The flop was a safe-looking {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts}. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn gave Lehr a gutshot straight draw, but the {A-Spades} that spiked on the river made him top pair, eliminating Matusow. Hence, the F-bomb.

Lehr is currently up to 600,000 in chips,

Steve Weinstein Eliminated

So close, yet, so far
So close, yet, so far
Humberto Brenes raised to 28,000 from under the gun; Nam Le and David Baker made the call from behind. A short stack Steve Weinstein moved all in from the small blind for just 66,000. Brenes then came over the top, shipping in his entire stack. Le and Baker got out of the way.

Weinstein - {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Brenes - {A-?} {A-?}

The board came {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} . Although Weinstein flopped a pair and turned a flush draw, he couldn't crack Humbero's aces on the river to stay alive.

Rousso, Fitoussi Hanging On

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso and Bruno Fitoussi, both short on chips, just tangled in a hand in which Rousso was all in with {K-Spades}{4-Hearts} versus Fitoussi's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. A four flopped, and no ace or queen came, meaning Rousso had doubled up to 165,000.

Soon afterwards, Fitoussi survived a three-way preflop all-in with his last 17,000 versus Andrew Robl and Brian Rast, and so tripled back to close to 60,000.
