The Matusow vs. Stein match is turning somewhat epic, with the stacks still roughly even halfway through the 600/1,200 level. Mostly they seem to be limping on the button and then folding to a raise from the big blind, and we haven't seen a single flop yet.
Still, the blinds are getting enormous and it can;t be too long before we see a couple big hands to put an end to this and send everyone on dinner.
"Come on Mike!" called a random railer at Matusow.
"Oh, this is one big war," he replied, as the two continued limping and min-betting (we finally got to see a flop while everyone was distracted by the railer; a mere min-bet from Matusow took it). "Actually I don't even know if this is a war. Me and this guy are like two BB guns. Or paintball."
It took him a while but Team Full Tilt Member Tom Dwan is through after defeating Ilya Trincher. They saw a 
flop where Dwan check-called a 1,500 bet. The turn came 
and this time Dwan check-raised Trincher's 3,200 bet all-in. Trincher took a while but eventually called all-in with 
but was behind to Dwan's 
. The river came 
to confirm Dwan's win.

A match which started with friendly banter and ended when the blinds pushed play to its limit with a preflop all-in sends Mike 'the Mouth' Matusow on to Round Two of the £10,000 Heads Up Championship. The final hands: 
for Matusow with which he called Stein's all in immediately finding him with a promisingly-behind 
. The flop saw Stein urging a Ten to pop out: 
... but the deck didn't oblige, sending instead the 
and the which meant play ended with a handshake and Matusow genuinely giving his opponent respect for, "A great game!"
Masaaki Kagawa is the last player to be eliminated from round one. He got it all-in with 
versus Jussi Nevanlinna's . Kagawa called for "one time" and that seemed to help on the 
flop but the Finn hit running cards with the on the turn and river to make two-pair.
The first round of action is complete. We'll have the next round of matches coming for you shortly.
