: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Seth Gutz: 
Jose Bermudes: 
Shawn Stevenson: 
"I've got my favorite hand! Let's go!" Bermudes said enthusiastically.

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.
