No Comeback for Cheek

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Howell Cheek was down to just 9,000 in chips when he got it in from the big blind. Mike Matusow had opened from early position and all other players folded.

Howell Cheek: {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Mike Matusow: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board came {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} and the two chopped it up.

In the next hand, action folded to Cheek in the small blind who stuck it in again. Doug Lorgeree called the few extra chips from the big blind.

Howell Cheek: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Doug Lorgeree: {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The dealer fanned out {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Hearts} to give Lorgeree a set of sixes and a low to scoop Cheek.

"Alright gentlemen," Cheek said as he bowed out in 36th.
