Over on the ESPN feature table, Mike Matusow opened with a raise to 27,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Phi Nguyen in the small blind who announced a reraise to 72,000. The big blind folded before Matusow instantly moved all in for 363,000 in total. Nguyen went into the tank before eventually declaring a call.

Matusow: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Nguyen: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} bringing no help to Matusow but he gave a positive call of “We got this” to his fans in the crowd. The {Q-Spades} then fell on the turn to give Matusow a pair of queens as he jumped up and down on the stage to the roaring delight of the audience. The river was the {7-Clubs} and Matusow exclaims, “How do y’all like it now, boys?” as he doubles up to about 740,000 chips.
