Stick a Fork In Matusow, He's Done

[user46392]

Just moments after loudly telling everyone that he wasn't done, Mike Matusow found himself well and truly toasted.

A preflop raising war saw him get his last in with {K-Clubs}

against another player's {A-Diamonds}

; it was looking bad from the start, and the failure of the deck to bring him a miracle sent him crashing out.

Board: {8-Hearts}

Oppenheim Snaps A Chip, Then Himself

[user67765]

A crazy hand has seen David Oppenheim eliminated after the action was so intense on the flop that Oppenheim somehow managed to physically break one of the 5,000-denomination chips after he slammed his chips into the middle.

The action was capped on the flop and turn before Oppenheim was all in on the river. The board read {3-Diamonds}

as Oppenheim tabled {Q-Diamonds}

but his opponent revealed {8-Clubs}

for two pair to send Oppenheim crashing to the rail much to the delight of Todd Brunson.

"F*%k you Todd" snapped Oppenheim.

"Let me buy you another double shot before you head home..." laughed Brunson as Oppenheim stormed out of the Rio.

Oppenheim Has Balls, Must Fight

[user46392]

"I'm not done yet," said Mike Matusow, down to just 10,400,

"Yeah, well I'm done," said David Oppenheim at the next table, sitting on 13,000 including the big blind he'd just posted.

"Fight!" cried Matusow, "FIGHT! Show some heart, David Oppenheim!"

Whether or not Oppenheim has heart is uncertain, but according to Matusow, "You have balls anyway."
