Mike Matusow has made it deep into today's Omaha Hi-Low tournament, coming off of his extraordinary win this year in the Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low event. Matusow was short and made an amazing comeback in his last event, but today he is rapidly approaching twice the average chip stack.
We caught a hand with Matusow as he was chopping a 3,000 pot. He had and the board was . Mike is going for his fifth bracelet of his career and currently has 20,800 in chips.
Daniel Negreanu is seated right in front of our desk, and he was feeling a bit nostalgic.
"Soda, coffee," a cocktail waiter said as he walked about the room. That was enough to inspire Negreanu.
"Coffee. Soda. Juice," Negreanu began to kroon. We couldn't help but laugh. If you're not sure why that's funny, check out this old school PokerNews video to find out why.
Daniel Negreanu opened from middle position and received a call from Jordan Morgan. Both the blinds came along and four players saw the flop of . The small blind checked, the big bet and Negreanu raised.
Morgan got out of the way, the small blind called and then the big made it three bets to go. Two calls were made, the small blind checked the turn and the big bet 1,000. Again Negreanu and the small blind called, and then all three players checked the river.

We walked into a hand with Jonathan Duhamel, 2010 WSOP Main Event winner, while he fired on all three streets to chop a 16,000 pot with his opponent.
It was two bets before the flop, and Duhamel called. The flop came , and Duhamel made it two bets and his opponent called. The turn came , and Duhamel fired again and was called. The river was the , and Duhamel lead the betting again.
Duhamel showed , splitting the 16,000 pot with his opponent who held .
Don't let the title mislead you. When we say he was eliminated with quads aces, we mean in his hand. That's right, six-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and poker legend Jay Heimowitz got his short stack in holding and was up against Richard Ashby.
We didn't get a look at Ashby's cards, but we do know he won after the board ran out . With that, a poker legend walked out of the Brasilia Room and into the halls of the World Series of Poker.
