[user37786]

Matt Matros lost about 800,000 chips in two hands in close succession. He dropped a pot to Nhan Le when he held {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} to Le's {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} on a jack-high board and the money went in on the turn. Matros then lost a pot to Ylon Schwartz when Matt raised with {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, Schwartz moved in with {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}, Matros called, and the flop came ace high. Matt is now down to 1.2 million.
