Paul Matzinger Eliminated in 11th Place ($2,925)
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Cody Bartlett raised to 70,000 from the cutoff, and Paul Matzinger called in the small blind.
Matzinger checked the 
flop, and Bartlett bet 80,000. Matzinger check-raised to 175,000 and Bartlett called.
Matzinger fired 150,000 on the 
turn, and Bartlett called.
The 
fell on the river, and Matzinger waved his hands at the table and announced, "All in," for 1.09 million. Bartlett tanked for a few minutes before making the call, showing 
for trip fives as he did. Matzinger threw his 
down on the felt, and after the stacks were counted, Matzinger found he was covered, and the Day 1b chip leader fell just shy of the final table.
