Event 37 – Final Day – Now Can we Have a Final Table?
1 year ago
We’re down to 10 in Event 37, which means all the players have been moved to a single faux final table. Just one more elimination and we’ll have a legitimate final table. Of course we were supposed to have that final table at 3 p.m. but keeping track of time here anyway.
Shun Uchida Stunned (11th)
One player that won’t be making it to any kind of final table in this event is Shun Uchida who just got in a raising war with David Benyamine that saw all the chips go into the middle on a 9
8 8
flop. The players flipped over their cards:
Uchida: A
Q 7
2
Benyamine: K K 4 4
The board filled with the 2 on the turn and the 7 on the river. Benyamine scoops the pot and Uchida scoops a check for $38,657 for coming in 11th.
Mouth Chirping
Mike “The Mouth” Matusow is doing his nickname proud. He just introduced every player at the “final” table of 10 in a typically dramatic fashion. The only player he had trouble naming was WPT Five Diamond Winner Eugene Katchalov.

Event 37 – Final Day – I Just Want to Have Fun!
1 year ago
In the last level Mike Matusow implored the remaining players to just “have fun” as Event 37 is played out.
“All I know is that when I play I want to have fun,” he said. “If I’m not having fun I don’t want to play.”
Don’t worry, Mike, we’re having fun.
Here’s a look at the other happenings in Event 37:
Dang it! Danny Dang Eliminated 13th
The alliterative Danny Dang ran into a hot Mike Matusow and found himself on the rail. Dang got all-in on the turn of K 3 2 4 4 board and Matusow flipped over A 3 4 5 for the wheel. Apparently Dang was dead in the water because he mucked his hand before the river was even dealt.
Chau Giang Ganked 12th
Cash game legend Chau Giang is no longer a threat in this tournament. Giang shoved for the last of his chips with the board reading A Q 9 6 and Toto Leonidas called with 8 7 A Q for a flush which had Giang’s hand of T 2 5 4 beat. The river fell J and provided no help for Giang. He’s eliminated 12th and will receive $38,657. Word!
Benyamine Takes Control
David Benyamine, who regularly crushes online Pot-Limit Omaha at stakes you could only dream of, is having a great day and has already built up nearly $700,000 chips. Could this be the year the French pro takes his first WSOP bracelet? Stay tuned…
