Matz Drops Another

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

The board read {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Faisal Siddiqui had his remaining 14,000 in the middle. James Matz called and the two had their hands face up.

Siddiqui showed {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for two pair with a low, but it was not good on either end as Matz had {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a wheel, taking down both pots as he sent Siddiqui out the door.

Matz Delivers a Bad Beat to Foe

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

A board read {a-}{5-}{k-}{k-}{a-} and two players put all of their chips into the middle. The first held an almost unbeatable hand in their quad kings as they held two in their hand.

James Matz flipped over the most unlikely hand after seeing the four cowboys when he showed his rivered quad aces. He took down the pot from his opponent in what is the biggest bad beat of the tournament thus far in this early day.

Jones Sends One Out Early

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Two players each put in around 3,700, Bill Jones being one of them to do so and the dealer spread out {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} on the flop.

Action checked to Jones, he bet pot for 7,600 and his opponent check-called to see the {6-Hearts} turn card. His opponent then moved all in for 6,100 and Jones called.

Jones tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of aces with draws on every end and his opponent then showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for hearts with the nut-low draw.

A {q-Diamonds} fell on the river and Jones took down the pot with his aces as his opponent missed everything, sending the almost double-up sized pot to Jones.
