Matusow Eliminates Dwan

Holding {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Mike Matusow was slightly ahead of Tom Dwan's {K-Hearts}{10-Spades} in a pre-flop all in battle. The flop came {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} offering no help for Dwan, who watched the turn and river blank out, sending "The Mouth" through to the round of sixteen.

When the tournament emcee announced that Matusow was in the money, Mike emphatically shouted "Yes!" and threw his arms high over his head in victory.
