Matros, Cutler Up; Brikis Down
Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Matt Matros is here, sitting at Table 28 a couple of spots away from Josh Brikis.
Matros was just now involved in a hand in which he raised to 500 from middle position and got callers from both blinds. The flop came 
, and when checked to Matros bet 600, with both opponents calling. All three then checked down the 
turn and 
river.
The big blind flipped over 
for the straight, and Matros and the other player mucked. Matros has chipped up a little from the starting stack to this point, presently sitting with about 24,000.
Things haven't gone quite as well thus far for Brikis today, although he did have a decent run in an earlier event here at WSOP-C Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, having final tabled Event #6 where he finished sixth.
Alan Culter won that event. He's here, too, and has about 30,000 as we near the end of Level 4. Here are the results from Event #6:
