Fricke Gets Some Life, Matusow All But Out

Stud

Mike Matusow and Jimmy Fricke were both very short and Fricke got it all in on third street leaving Matusow with 5,000 behind and their boards running out like this.

Fricke: {10-} {10-} / {10-} {5-} {3-} {k-} / {2-}
Matusow: {A-} {Q-} / {A-} {2-} {j-} {j-} / {9-}

The two caught a bit of a sweat on sixth street when Matusow had two pair, but seventh street was a brick {9-} for Matusow and the pot went to Fricke who is back up to 54,000. Matusow only has 5,000 left in the tournament
