Matthews Receives PokerNews Rungood

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 300 ante

Alessandro Ponzio raised to 700 on the button, which Peter Rouviere called in the small blind. David Matthews then made it 2,700 to go, which only Rouviere called.

Each player drew one card before Rouviere checked over to Matthews. Matthews tossed in one T-5,000 chip and was swiftly called by his opponent.

Matthews revealed 7x5x4x3x2x for the stone-cold nuts. Rouviere flung his cards into the muck, and the pot was shipped to Matthews.

"PokerNews comes over and I immediately make a wheel," Matthews stated while he was stacking his chips. "It's like they can smell it."

During the hand, Alex Epstein sat down at the table. He was already on his second bullet of the day after being one of only three eliminations during the first level and a half.
