Tyler Phillips: J♥9♥2♣/J♠4♥4♠7♥
Brian Rast: XxXx/8♠2♥6♣ - folded on fifth street
Thomas Bessoir bet on fourth street, getting Steven Davis, Tyler Phillips, and Brian Rast along to fifth street.
Phillips then made an open pair and led out. Rast quickly folded, but Bessoir and Davis called again. Another bet and two calls followed on sixth street, after which seventh street was checked to showdown.
Bessoir tabled a pair of aces and an eight-low. Phillips had jacks-up for the high half of the pot, while Davis stared at his cards for a while before he added them to the muck in defeat.
Davis was left with about four big bets, which he lost not much later. Meanwhile, Mike Matusow was seen driving away on his iconic scooter as he had lost the remainder of his short stack.
