Matusow Gets There on the River

Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Within minutes of sitting down at his new table, Mike Matusow lost a sizable pot to Micheal Mizrachi, and then busted a short stack. We missed the hand against Mizrachi, but walked over just in time to catch the elimination.

Matusow opened the pot preflop from middle position and the player to his left moved all in for around 6,000. Action folded back to Matusow, who called, and the cards went on their backs.

Matusow: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Short Stack: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop gave "The Mouth" a little hope, and the {8-Hearts} on the turn all but secured a chop.

Matusow: "That's a good card for me."

The river brought the beautiful {Q-Spades}

Matusow: "That's a BETTER card for me!"

Matusow is still limping after the big loss to Mizrachi, but this helps ease the wounds a little.
