Matusow Eliminated

This hurts to type.

Down to his last 1,125, Mike Matusow was dealt the very playable {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and pushed all in. Chad Brown called, then another player reraised, pushing Brown out of the hand. Matusow was in good shape, as the reraiser showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, giving both players top pair. The turn was the {A-Spades}, and now Matusow had top two.

But the river was the {10-Spades}, giving Matusow's opponent Broadway and sending the Mouth home.
