Marin Shuts Up the Mouth

Chad Holloway

Level 11

Stud

Mike Matusow: {3-Spades}{4-Spades} / {6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades} / {x-}
Roberto Marin: {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} / {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {Q-Diamonds}
Other Player: {x-}{x-} / {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} Fold

A short-stacked Mike "The Mouth" Matusow got the last of his chips in from the get go and was up against four players. Two of them dropped out on fourth street, which left two active players on fifth. One was Roberto Marin who, along with the other player, both checked. When Marin picked up the {9-Clubs} on sixth, he bet and his opponent folded.

"Pair of nines with a flush draw?" Matusow asked. Marin then showed {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flush draw a trips. "Wow, I'm drawing dead," Matusow admitted before picking up all the cards.

Marin was given the {Q-Diamonds} on seventh for good measure while Matusow simply sent his cards to the muck, wished the tabled good luck and then exited the tournament area.

The Odds are Not in Hellmuth's Favor

Limit Hold'em

We got there as the board was being run out, and as far as we could tell, Phil Hellmuth had gotten his last couple of thousand in preflop and was at risk against Brett Richey.

Hellmuth: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Brett Richey: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Hellmuth was behind but still had a 44.89% chance of winning the pot, which meant Richey was a 54.65% favorite. The {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was dry for Hellmuth, who saw his chances of survival drop to 24.04%. The {q-Diamonds} turn dropped it even further to 20.45% and meant he needed either a nine, ten or jack on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for the "Poker Brat," the useless {7-Hearts} peeled off on the river and he was eliminated from the $5,000 H.O.R.S.E.

Full House For Luske

Level 11

Stud Hi-Lo

Marcel Luske{X-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} / {x-}
Bruce Walters{x-}{x-} / {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Spades} / {x-}

Marcel Luske completed and was only called by Bruce Walters. Luske fired out bets on fourth and fifth street and the action went check-check on sixth. Luske fired one more bet on seventh and Walters called, showing {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks.

Luske fanned {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for fives full of deuces and was able to drag in the pot. Luske is now sitting on about 59,000 in chips.

Negreanu's Two Pair Takes It

Level 11

Stud

Daniel Negreanu{x-}{x-}{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} / {x-}
Opponent{x-}{x-} / {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} / {x-}

We picked up with the action on fourth street to see Daniel Negreanu fire out a bet. His opponent called and then paired nines on fifth street. He bet out into Negreanu and Negreau called. On sixth, Negreanu faced another bet but instead opted to raise. His opponent called and checked seventh after receiving his down card. Negreanu fired one last bet and his opponent called. Negreanu fanned {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for aces and eights, causing his opponent to muck his hand. Negreanu picked up the pot and now has about 70,000 in chips.

"We're Down to One World Champ"

Razz

Jonathan Duhamel: {4-}{10-} / {2-}{j-}{k-}{k-} / {a-}
Eli Elezra: {10-}{9-}{4-}{3-}{2-}{j-}{9-}

We're not sure of the action, but we do know that 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel got his last thousand or so all in on fifth street. We caught his board, but Eli Elezra, who had called him, rearranged his cards before we got a good look.

With that said, we saw what they drew and know that Elezra won the pot with a 10-9-4-3-2 low.

"We're down to one world champ now," Elezra said after Duhamel had exited the tournament area. He then pointed to 1996 WSOP Main Event champ Huck Seed, who was seated in the eight seat. "I'm going to try to take care of him now, too!"
