Matusow completed and the opponent called before check-calling Matusow's bet on fourth street. Matusow then check-called the opponent on fifth street, called the opponent's opening bet on sixth street and then both players checked the river.

We just walked by Tom Dwan's table, and we saw him collecting a truck load of chips after knocking out a player. When the dust settled, he was sitting on 36,000, good enough for the chip lead in the tournament by our estimation.
The eight-set brought in before Chad completed before fourth street; he found two callers from the six and seven seats before betting. The six-seat raised all-in, but the seven-seat reraised and Chad called before check-calling the seven-seat's bet on fifth street. Chad led out on sixth street and the seven-seat called before they both checked the river.
Chad revealed his hand and the seven seat mucked, but the six seat player was sent to the rail.
Bryan Micon just walked over to our table with his hands in the air in triumph, saying jokingly "I want full credit for my chip leadership! Or almost chip leadership. I don't want Cyndy Violette taking all my glory!" Micon is currently sitting at 27,200, which is right at the chip lead by our count.
We picked up the action from fourth street; an opponent check-called Cernuto both on fourth and fifth street before Cernuto led out on sixth street.

We came to the table with Maria Ho all in on fifth street. Both her opponents called, and sixth street was dealt out. Opponent 1 bet, and the other player folded. Ho announced that she had a full house, showing the , and her opponent instantly mucked, showing that he couldn't catch up on seventh street. Ho won the pot and her stack jumped up to 4,200.
