Typical

Another hand from near the end of Level 2: On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Mike Matusow checked and Max Pescatori bet 3,000. Matusow thought for a while, then reraised all in. Pescatori made the call.

Pescatori showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for an open-ended straight draw. Matusow showed {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for middle pair.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and Matusow was drawing dead. He's down to about 1,125 in chips, while Pescatori is up to 27,000.
