Mike Thorpe: XxXx/A♣Q♠4♠4♥/Xx
Mike Matusow: XxXx/2♦5♥J♥9♥/Xx
In another battle between the Mikes, Thorpe bet sixth street and Matusow made the call. On seventh street, Thorpe checked, Matusow bet, and Thorpe called.
Matusow revealed K♥10♥10♣ for a flush, while Thorpe showed J♦4♦3♠ for trips that weren't good enough. Thorpe would be left with just one small bet while Matusow shot up the ranks on Day 3.
Mike Thorpe: 4♦2♠/8♠9♣Q♣6♥/Q♥
Craig Chait: 4♣4♠/8♣A♠A♥10♥/K♠
Ryan Miller: XxXx/2♣ - folded third street
A couple of hands later, Ryan Miller was the bring-in and Craig Chait completed. Thorpe then called all in for his final small bet and Miller got out of the way.
Chait hit aces up by fifth street, while Thorpe was drawing to just a low by sixth. After a careful peel, it was revealed that seventh street paired Thorpe and thus eliminated him in 13th place.
