Scott Matte Eliminated in 23rd Place ($40,684)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Christopher Brewer shoved from the cutoff into the smaller stacks to his left, and Scott Matte called for his last 1,100,000 from the small blind.
Scott Matte: K?Q? 
Christopher Brewer: 10?9?
Matte would have felt comfortable when he saw the 6?3?Q? flop as he improved to top pair which left Brewer drawing thin. A 7? on the turn did give Brewer a gutshot meaning only an eight on the river would see Matte eliminated.
Brewer did complete his straight on the 8? river which meant Matte was eliminated.
"I get the bounty, too," said Brewer as Matte was walking away from the table. Matte tossed the bounty card to Brewer and headed to the payout desk.
