Matusow busted out 9th after only a few hands. He started 4th in chips, but his KK ran into AA in the 2nd hand. Of course they got all the chips in preflop (he had the other guy covered). Mike hit his set of Kings on the flop but the other guy hit runner runner hearts for a flush. A few hands later, Mike made a good read on a guy with TT and a flop of unders, but the other guy hit a straight on the turn to eliminate Matusow. After that, the 8 remaining were amateurs. From reading the Cardplayer log, it looks like it was super-aggressive, with a lot of pretty questionable plays with weak holdings, but I guess it's hard to tell.

The main event should make for good tv but it's a shame Matusow busted when he did. I'm sure ESPN wasn't too happy about that.

EDIT: I didn't see that this had already been talked about, sorry.
