Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We caught the end of a hand with Chino Rheem all in for his last 33,300 on the river of a board with about 60,000 in the pot.

Anthony Zinno was contemplating a call for quite some time and after the clock was called and his final ten seconds counted down, he made it. Rheem turned over and it was good as Zinno's cards hit the muck.

Keven Stammen made it 5,000 from the button before Dani Stern upped it to 15,000 in the small blind. Stammen opted to make the call after the big blind released and they went heads-up to the flop.

Stern led out for 16,000 but Stammen would have none of it, or all of it, depending on your perspective. He potted it and Stern folded with zero haste.

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We've just lost Mike Matusow after he ran into pocket aces again, not too long after doubling up Erik Seidel in a huge pot where he had kings.

On Matusow's last hand he raised to 5,000 and Alexander Venovski three-bet to 12,700. Matusow gave it some thought before moving all in and Venovski snap-called.

"Aces again?" Matusow cried, as Venovski nodded.

Venovski showed and Matusow shook his head as he turned over .

"I almost folded," Matusow said.

The board ran out and Matusow was knocked out.

"Would you have folded?" Matusow asked Seidel who shook his head.

"You had 22 big blinds with ace-king," Venovski said to console his opponent, and Matusow left the room.

John Juanda raised to 5,000 and from his immediate left it was Mike Watson who moved all in over the top for just 12,500. The action folded back to Juanda who announced he had ace-king as he made the call.

"Well, that's not good for me," Watson said as he went to showdown.
