Mike Matusow shoved his last 6,000 into the pot from the cutoff. Edward Han raised pot from the button and the player in the small blind was all-in for around 12,000.

Mike Matusow: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Edward Han: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Matusow was eliminated from the tournament and Han's three fives took the high pot while he split the low pot with the small blind.
