As the WPT live reporting team arrives at Table 65, Matthew Wilkins and Matthew Zola’s very similar-sized stacks are in the middle preflop with just over 30,000 in each.

Matthew Wilkins:
Matthew Zola:

The flop comes pairing Zola’s queen to give him the lead. The board completes as his two pair earn him the pot.

The stacks are counted down and Wilkins is still alive but left with just 800 chips. He’d lose them shortly after and head back to the registration line.

Matthew Zola – 67,000 (83 bb)
Matthew Wilkins – 40,000 (50 bb)
