Rodawig Eliminated as Cheung Fills Up
Level 12
: Limits 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Rodawig: XxXx/10♠A♣9♥Q♠/Xx
James Cheung: XxXx/4♠4♦6♣A♦/Xx
Mike Matusow: XxXx/8♠2♣7♠Q♥/Xx
The action was caught on fifth street, when Eric Rodawig was already all-in. James Cheung and Mike Matusow were creating a side pot with Cheung check-calling a bet from Matusow.
Cheung then led on sixth street, as well as seventh. Matusow called both times and Cheung announced "full house,", showing down 4♣2♥2♦. Baffled, Matusow showed his 9♣8♣2♠ for two pair, while Rodawig tried to sweat his final cards. However, the Q♠8♦7♥ he slowly revealed were of no help, and he exited the tournament.
On another table, David "Bakes" Baker was also eliminated.
