We arrived at Mike Matusow's table and saw him call a bet on fourth street, then get the rest of his chips in on fifth street.
Mike Matusow: /
Opponent: /
Matusow's pair was ahead on fifth street, but after he caught the and his opponent caught the on sixth street, Matusow could only win half the pot as his opponent made a low.
On seventh street his opponent caught the and made two pair. Matusow squeezed his final card, but shook his head and flipped over the , ending his tournament.
Marc Hodge: /
Mikhail Tulchinskiy: /
Third player: , in no particular order
Mikhail Tulchinskiy was all in on third or fourth street and betting continued at a rather sluggish pace between "Macon" Marc Hodge and a third player. When they turned over the cards, Tulchinskiy's two pair, kings and fives, was good for the high, and Hodge took the low.
After that, Tulchinskiy was still pretty short on 3,500. Hodge meanwhile bumped his stack up over the 20,000 mark.
Andreas Hoivold and John Juanda reached seventh street with and showing respectively. Juanda led, leaving the Norwegian in somewhat of a quandary. A
fter much deliberation - which included pulling his cards together, fingering his chips, and umming and ahhing like it was the final question of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, he eventually succumbed ("I have to call") and threw in the necessary trips.
Juanda revealed for a trip queens, only for Hoivold to flip a seven for an inferior set.
Whilst Juanda leaps up to 9,000, a frustrated Hoivold is back down to below his starting stack with 4,200.
Down to about 1,250, James Guill got his remaining chips in on fifth street with the board looking like this after the down cards were turned up:
Guill: /
Opponent: /
Bad luck for Guill, seeing his strong starting hand left with little to no chance of winning the high, as well as many of his low outs being in his opponent's hand. Guill caught a on sixth street and a on seventh street, ending his tournament just before the end of Level Six.
