Raymer Has Big Cojones

One of our enduring regrets with the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship is that, although the players are mic'ed up, they're not amplified. So we haven't been able to hear any of the chatter between Greg Raymer and Mike Matusow. We hope that at least one of the two players, who are long past their 2004 confrontation in the WSOP Main Event, made a "cojones" joke at some point in their match.

Raymer displayed just how big his cojones are by getting it all in with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} against Matusow's {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Raymer was at risk, but his treys stood tall on a {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board to take a big lead in the match against Matusow.
