Title: Mike Matusow Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,000,000)
Log: Hand 28 - Daniel Bergsdorf has the button in seat 4, Dannenmann raises to $300,000, and Matusow calls from the small blind. The flop comes 5s-3s-2c, Matusow bets $600,000, and Dannenmann immediately says, "All in." Matusow stops the action to study his opponent. He stands up, leaning out over the table to get a good look at his opponent before calling. Dannenmann shows As-Jc, while Matusow has pocket tens (10d-10c). Dannenmann was semi-bluffing with overcards, and he'll need to catch a four, a jack, or an ace to win the pot.
The turn card is the 4h, and Dannenmann makes a five-high straight to take a commanding lead in this hand. Matusow will need to catch a six or an eight to survive with a straight on the board.
The river card is a 9, and Mike Matusow is eliminated in ninth place, earning $1,000,000.
He walks over to Mark Seif in the crowd, who comforts him, and then the players from the final table all come over to shake his hand. Matusow is composed, but clearly disappointed. He's keeping his composure very well, and there are no outbursts or anger. Matusow is stunned.
He didn't get beat by the 9. The 9 was the river card. he got beat by the 4 on the turn. That completed the straight.
Even though Mike finished 9th, everyone is commending him for his great finish. And there was no "Matasow blow up" as everyone predicted. Congrats to him for a $1 million payout.
