Matusow led out with a bet and got raised by Zinno. Matusow called, with the loser of this pot to become far and away the shortest stack in the room.
Both players then drew one, and this time Matusow check-called a bet from Zinno.
Matusow continued to draw one, while Zinno patted his hand in position.
Matusow then checked to Zinno, who also checked with just 20,000 left.
Matusow said he got there and showed , which indeed was good against Zinno's .
Danny Wong just claimed a pair of pots from Shaun Deeb that have vaulted him into the realm of chip leader.
Picking action up on the second round of a three-way hand with Wong, Deeb, and Jordan Siegel, Wong and Siegel drew one while Deeb patted.
Betting was then checked to Deeb who bet, and both his opponents called.
The drawing was identical on the final round, but this time it was Wong who led out into his two opponents. Siegel quickly folded, but after some deliberation, Deeb called.
Wong showed and Deeb mucked, claiming he had an eight-six.
Shortly after, Wong and Deeb played a heads-up pot with Deeb taking one on the first draw with Wong drawing two. Wong called a bet from Deeb, then drew one after Deeb patted.
Deeb again bet out, but was met with a raise from Wong. Deeb quickly tossed his cards into the muck, as Wong boosted his stack over 800,000 at the expense of the recent Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller champion.
