Mike Matusow Doubles Through Thomas Keller

The Kiddie Game is Down the Street
The Kiddie Game is Down the Street
Thomas Keller opened the pot for a 23,000 raise from early position, Mike Matusow reraised to 65,000 from middle position and Keller called. The flop was {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Keller checked, and Matusow moved all in for 260,000. Keller went into the tank, trying to get a read on Matusow who sat completely still. Finally, Keller made the call.

"I know you've got queens, right?" said Matusow as he tabled his {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

Keller turned up {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

Matusow leapt out of his seat and began shadow-boxing as the dealer burned and turned the {K-Hearts} and the {2-Clubs}.

"That's what I'm talking about!" cried Matusow as he raked in the pot. He's now up to 600,000.
