Mike Matusow was hoping for his fourth WSOP bracelet today, but he will have to wait another day, as he was just eliminated in a cooler stud-8 hand. We caught the action on fifth street, where we saw Matusow bet out, and get called by George Danzer and Owais Ahmed. On sixth, Danzer bet, and Matusow called. Ahmed put in two bets, and Danzer didn't take long to put a third bet out there. Matusow and Ahmed called, and Dazner bet one more time on seventh street. Matusow called off the last of his 11,000, and Ahmed also tagged along.
Danzer showed in the hole for an eight high straight and low, and Matusow showed for a seven high straight and low. However, Owais announced he had a "seventy five" low, and showed the in the hole. Matusow made his hand on seventh, but amazingly, it wasn't good enough. He bows out just short of the final table.
Owais Ahmed has been absolutely on fire all day, and that hasn't slowed down in this level. We caught the tail end of him scooping a monster pot through Mike Gorodinsky to push him over 500,000. The board had been dealt out , and when we arrived, we saw Gorodinsky tanking over a river bet by Ahmed. There was a sea of chips in the middle, and after a good time of thought, Gorodinsky reluctantly called.
Ahmed tabled for two pair and the nut low, and Gorodinsky shook his head before mucking his hand. After that pot, Gorodinsky is down to 470,000, while Ahmed is our leader with 520,000.
