Action on 327

Limit Hold'em:

There's no slow starting at Orange 327. With the game starting at limit hold'em, there have already been several showdowns. Mike Matusow's pocket jacks got the best of Erick Lindgren's big slick by rivering a straight, {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {k-Spades}. A few hands later Ted Forrest and Brian Townsend both showed down unimproved ace-broadway, but Forrest's queen out-kicked Townsend's ten.

The circle was completed when Townsend's {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} raked a pot against Matusow at showdown on an ace-high board. The usually garrulous Matusow didn't have anything to say as he mucked his hand.
