Marcus Obser Doubles Through Alex Outhred

[user10554]
[user10554]
Alex Outhred moves all in, and Marcus Obser calls all in from the cutoff. (Humberto Brenes thinks for a while before folding, causing Mike Matusow to make additional comments about how slow Brenes has been acting on his hand.)

Outhred shows {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and Obser shows {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Obser will need his hand to hold up to stay alive.

The board comes {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and Obser takes the pot with his pocket queens, increasing his stack to 283,000. Outhred drops down to 77,000.

Is Humberto Brenes Too Slow to Act? Mike Matusow Thinks So

[user10554]
[user10554]
When the action folds around to Humberto Brenes, he studies his hand for a while, and it apparently tests Matusow's patience, as he does this often.

Matusow to Humberto: "Do you ever look at your cards, see two bad cards, and just fold? I mean, what are you thinking about every hand?"

Matusow continues this rant for a little while longer, talking about questionable hands like K-J or J-10.

[Removed:326] vs. John Phan vs. Francois Safieddine

[Removed:326] limps for 16,000, John Phan raises from the cutoff to 48,000, Francois Safieddine calls, and [Removed:327] reraises to 160,000. Phan thinks for a long time before folding his cards, and Safieddine thinks for a while himself before bailing. [Removed:326] takes the pot.

[Removed:326] takes solid claim of the chip lead with 760,000.

Mike Matusow vs. Devin Porter

[user10554]
[user10554]
Mike Matusow raises from the small blind, and Devin Porter calls. The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Matusow bets 26,000, and Porter calls. The turn card is the {4-Diamonds}, Matusow bets 60,000, and Porter calls. The river card is the {8-Spades}, and both players check. Porter shows J-10 for a pair of tens, and Matusow quickly mucks.

Porter builds his stack to 430,000 after being the short stack in the event just a short while ago. Matusow drops down to 330,000.

High Blinds, Small Pots

[user10554]
[user10554]
Most of the pots have been small lately, without a lot of action. But with blinds at 8,000-16,000, and the average stack at 422,000, even the small pots can move a lot of chips across the table. The chip counts are swinging a bit, and they will be updated often. Keep your eyes on the "Chip Counts" page, which you can find by clicking the link on the right.
