Matusow Out

When we reached the feature table, the flop was {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Mike Matusow was all in for 135,000, there was a mountain of chips in the middle, and Nicholas Palma was tanking.

Palma eventually called, turning over {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, and Matusow unhappily flipped over {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

"I knew he had it," Matusow sighed.

Neither the turn ({5-Clubs}), nor the river ({2-Diamonds}) improved Matusow's hand, and he was eliminated.

Palma is now contending for the chip lead with around 810,000 chips.
