No-Limit Hold'em
From the button, James Obst shoved all in for his last 109,000. Matusow asked for a count then decided on a flat-call. Schuyler Thornton folded his big blind, leaving Matusow and Obst heads up.
Matusow: 
Obst: 
The flop was a good one for Matusow when it came 
giving him a flush draw. He also picked up outs to a chop on the 
turn. But the river was the 
, giving him two pairs, and awarding him the entire pot and eliminating Obst in eighth place.
Matusow gave Obst a big hug after the hand and Obst shook hands with both Klodnicki and Thornton and wished them luck. He will take home $32,474 for his eighth-place finish.

Badugi
From the small blind, James Obst limped in. Mike Matusow raised and Obst called.
On the first draw, Obst took two while Matusow took one. Obst checked, Matusow bet, and Obst called.
On the second draw, both players took one. This time Obst bet and Matusow called.
On the last draw, both players took one again. Obst checked. Matusow bet. Obst sighed, then called. Matusow showed 
for a three-card badugi and that earned a muck from Obst.
"I was happy with the first three but I was even happier when I drew the second ace," Matusow said.
