The Mouth Likes Nuts

We caught the action on the turn on a board of {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs} where the player in big blind had led out with a bet of 300 and Mike Matusow made the call from the cutoff.

The river fell the {4-Clubs} and the big blind checked before Matusow moved all in for 2,025, covering his opponent, who made the call. The big blind tabled {J-?}{9-?} for flopped top two pair, but Matusow showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the flopped nut straight to double up and eliminate his opponent.

Matusow is now up to 6,500 chips.
