Matthew Thom Eliminated in 4th Place ($91,066)
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Matthew Thom went all in and Jie Fu stood up and animatedly made the call. The blinds folded and Thom was at risk.
Matthew Thom: K♣J♠
Jie Fu: A♦10♦
Thom saw the bad news but his two live cards still had a decent chance. The K♦5♥7♥ flop pulled Thom ahead but Fu was tenaciously calling for an ace, but when the 10♠ turned, he added a ten or an ace to his chant. The poker gods obliged and a 10♣ peeled off the river, giving Fu trips to beat Thom's pair of kings.
Jay Lockett and Diego Acquila shook Thom's hand while Fu celebrated the river.
