Michael Matthews had been crippled down to just 30,000 in a previous hand after Fred Chaptini doubled through him with pocket aces against his {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Matthews moved it into the middle a short time later and was called down by Alan Nicholls.

Nicholls: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Matthews: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The flop of {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} helped neither player, but Matthews found some possibilities when the {7-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

However a repeat {10-Spades} fell on the river, eliminating Matthews, who has cashed in all three Aussie Millions events he has played this year and made two final tables - a fantastic effort from the 'Man from Nagambie'.

Nicholls moves up to 360,000 in chips.
