Chad Left With Dregs; More Than Quadruples Up
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Jesper Olsen left Norman Chad with just 400 chips and the latter was all in on the next hand against Karina Jett, Jesper Olsen and another player.
Norman Chad: 
/
Jesper Olsen: /
- Folded Fifth Street
Karina Jett: 
/
Olsen bet on fourth street with Jett being the only caller. Olsen folded after he faced a bet from Jett on fifth street.
Jett scooped a small side pot and told Chad that he had to beat a pair of sixes to stay in the competition. Chad turned over his down cards and celebrated when he saw that he made a seven-high straight.
The table then broke up the very next hand. The dealer gave Jett her new seat card but Jett thought it was the start of her next hand. She peeled the card to see her new table seat and then burst out in hysterics when she realised what she had done.

: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Mike Matusow : / 
Opponent: / 
- snap-folded on fourth street
Mike Matusow completed and only one opponent called to get the hand heads-up.
Matusow bet on fourth street and the opponent instantly folded. Matusow tabled to show that he had a strong holding.
"That's the best hand I've seen the whole series," said Matusow.
The four-time bracelet winner is sporting a t-shirt that reads "I'd Love a Mean Tweet and $1.79 Gas Right Now" and earlier argued to a tablemate that Elon Musk purchasing Twitter would be "the most important thing to happen in this country."
