Matusow Doubles Up Virtually Drawing Dead

Action folded around to a player with a petite stack of 700, and he moved all in. Mike Matusow was next to act, and he moved in for 8,100. It folded around to the big blind, and he tanked for about 30 seconds before calling it off. When the cards were table, Matusow couldn't help but laugh at loud.

Opponent 1: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent 2: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Upon seeing the hands, Matusow yelled "I'm F***ing drawing dead. What's drawing dead ladies and gents?" Eventually, he tabled {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and indeed, The Mouth was drawing very slim. He would need some sort of straight draw, or the last eight in the deck to claim a majority of the pot. Well he did just that, as the flop came down {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The board completed {4-Diamonds} and {7-Clubs}, and Matusow let the whole room know just how lucky he got.

After the hand, Matusow shot up to 17,000.
