We picked up the action on fourth, when David Benyamine bet, one player folded, and Maria Ho called. Benyamine bet again on fifth, and Ho tanked a bit before calling. She tanked some more before calling a sixth-street bet. It went check-check after neither player's down card improved their hands. Ho tabled for the split kings that she'd held from the start. Benyamine showed for unimproved buried sixes, and Ho took the pot to stay in the running with 41,000. Benyamine was left with 88,000.
Just a few hands ago Mike Matusow was down to his last 5,000, but after going on a heater he's back up to 45,000
Matusow had a short-stacked Thomas Koral all in on fourth street and their boards looked like this.

Matusow and Koral both had two pair on seventh street, but Matusow's aces and kings were superior to the tens and threes of Koral and he hit the rail. Matusow is certainly on fire to have built his stack up to where he is now and it will be interesting to see if he can keep it going.
Shannon Shorr has just been eliminated from the tournament when Huck Seed made a wheel on seventh to scoop him and move to just under 170,000 in chips.
This is the fastest hand we've seen all day, and it went all the way to showdown. Well done, guys! Frankie O'Dell raised, and from the cutoff, Gary Benson made it three-bets, a total of 12,000. O'Dell called, and the flop came . O'Dell insta-checked and called Benson's snap-bet just as fast. As soon as the dealer put the down on the turn, they repeated the action. Lightening check, bet, call again after the scary river. Benson tabled to win the pot. He's up to 111,000 while O'Dell dropped to 185,000.
One hand after losing a sizable Hold'em pot to Gary Benson, Frankie O'Dell again opened with a raise. Mori Eskandani made it three bets, and Sam Silverman put in the fourth bet on the button. O'Dell and Eskandani both called. The flop fell . Action checked to Silverman, who bet and picked up one caller in O'Dell. Silverman bet again when the turn brought the , and O'Dell called while the rest of the breaking table began racking their chips to move to new seats. A fourth heart, the , appeared on the river. O'Dell saw his opportunity and bet into Silverman, who threw up his hands.
Silverman tanked for several minutes while the table waiting impatiently for him to decide so they could get new seat cards. Finally he made the call and breathed a sigh of relief when neither of O'Dell's were hearts. Silverman's flopped a set and held through the four-flushed board to win the pot. "You're supposed to make that call," O'Dell said. "I don't know what took so long."
Silverman now has 220,000. After dropping two pots in a row, O'Dell is down around 150,000.
