Mike Matusow: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} / {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Brian Hastings: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} / {x-}
Benjamin Dobson: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} / {x-}

With around 40,000 in the pot already, Mike Matusow, Brian Hastings, and Benjamin Dobson were all still alive in the hand. Matusow led out on fifth street and was called by both of his opponents.

Hastings took the lead on sixth but played it cautiously and checked. Matusow tossed in another bet and both Dobson and Hastings called again.

"I need one card to scoop everything," Matusow said as he rubbed his hands together.

On seventh, the action checked around and Matusow tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for trip queens and both of his opponents mucked. It appears as though 'The Mouth' has just taken over the chip lead as the only player to climb over 200,000 thus far.
