Bryan Micon (pictured at right) took a big hit in the $1.5K HORSE Event when his low draw didn’t materialize and pretty much everyone at his table and the tables surrounding him knew it.  His tablemate, Mike Matusow, finally proclaimed, “Bryan: you are allowed to talk non-stop about anything you want, anything at all, but you are not allowed to talk about that hand anymore.”

Mike continued his table banter with Micon by explaining to him the power of positive thinking.  Bryan was down to just 3 chips, 1,100 total, and Matusow was attempting to inspire him to make a comeback.

Micon made his last stand when he raised on 3rd street with a K up in Stud 8.  Both Matusow and the player who was the bring in made the call.  By 5th street Micon was showing K-10-10 and the third player bet, inducing Matusow to fold.  The other player held a pair of aces, but he made aces up on 6th and left Bryan, who had kings and tens, drawing very thin, especially since one of the kings was folded on 3rd.  Micon failed to improve and he was eliminated as Level 7 came to a close.

Other players making an exit in the event recently include Barry Greenstein and Kenna James.  Here are some chip counts of a few of the players still hanging around in the event:

Bryan “badbeatninja” Devonshire - 15K
Eric “jakz101″ Crain - 14K
Brett “Gank” Jungblut - 13.5K
Shannon Shorr - 8K
Doug “Resilient” Smith - 6.5K

Eric “Rizen” Lynch made his exit from the $10K Pot Limit Omaha Championship when, with the blinds at 800/1,600 a player in late position raised and Lynch moved all-in for 11.8K more.  The player made the call with 4-5-6-8 and Eric showed AA23.  The flop came88-X and, with no help on the turn or river, Lynch was eliminated.
