RGPS Council Bluffs $420 Main Event
The final 57 players are on a fifteen-minute break. The 500 denomination chips will be colored up during this break. When players return, just three more players need to be eliminated before the money bubble bursts.
Paul Matzinger limped in from early position, and Brad Backus raised to 26,000 in the big blind. Matzinger three-bet to 55,000, and Backus called.
Backus checked the flop, and Matzinger instantly announced, "All in," and flicked a chip into the pot to confirm the bet. Backus tanked for a minute, at one point asking Matzinger, "Do you have the aces?" then slammed in a call for his last 140,000.
Paul Matzinger:
Brad Backus:
Backus was correct on his read, and Matzinger claimed the last of Backus's chips after the turn and river failed to bring in a king for Backus.

Nathan Steuer raised to 12,000 from early position, and Seth Gutz three-bet to 36,000 in middle position. Steuer four-bet shoved, and Gutz quickly called off his last 153,000.
Seth Gutz:
Nathan Steuer:
Gutz added another ace to his repertoire on the flop to leave Steuer's prospects looking dim. The turn and river were no help, and Gutz doubled up.

Patrick Watkins jammed for around 50,000 from early position, and was at risk against Daniel Cain next to act.
Patrick Watkins:
Daniel Cain:
Cain's aces would get no sweat on a runout to eliminate Watkins.

On the river of a board, Daniel Hamm committed his last 142,500 chips after an Andrew Dockins shove, and with good reason: Hamm held for rivered quads.
Dockins could only shake his head after he showed the from his hand for a turned set and rivered full house, and he parted with nearly half of his stack in the process.

Scott Buller raised to 14,000 from middle position, and Michael Taylor called in the big blind.
"All in," Taylor said after the flop hit the felt.
"How much is that?" Buller asked, and when the total was confirmed to be 75,000, Buller went into the tank for a few minutes, but elected to fold.
A hand later, Tristan Nelson was seen leaving the tournament area at the same table, and was eliminated.

Mary Foster jammed for 33,000 from under the gun, and Paul Strohm three-bet shoved for 185,000 in middle position.
"Just tryin' to help you!" Strohm said after everyone folded.
Mary Foster:
Paul Strohm:
Most of the drama was taken out of the hand after the flop left Foster looking for running cards, and they failed to materialize on the turn and river.
