Balaban Busts Matusow

Level 8 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Mike Matusow

Igor Balaban raised in the cutoff seat and it folded to Mike Matusow in the small blind, who said "I can't fold here" while calling all in for his last 2,300 chips.

Mike Matusow: {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Igor Balaban: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Matusow had some hopes for the double up but the board brought {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, giving a straight flush to Balaban to eliminate the four-time bracelet winner from the tournament.
