Chris Klodnicki: XxXx / 7x9xQx8x / Xx
Ben Yu: XxXx / 9x8x6xJx / Xx
Mike Matusow: XxXx / QxKx - folded on fourth street
Mike Matusow was the bring-in, with short stack Chris Klodnicki calling first to act. Ben Yu, who slightly covered Klodnicki, also called.
Klodnicki remained as the low on fourth and bet. Only Yu called.
Yu then took the betting lead when he was dealt a six. He fired out a wager and Klodnicki stuck around with his Qx. On sixth street, Yu bet and Klodnicki called for his tournament life with his last 100,000.
Yu turned over his cards first. He had Ax5x and caught a 7x on seventh street to make 8-7-6-5-A.
Klodnicki needed to catch to avoid bubbling, and after peeling one card, he triumphantly turned all three over at once revealing Ax2x4x to make an 8-7-4-2-A to stay in contention.
Yu looked defeated, with his stack sitting at 80,000.
