The New Mike Matusow

Pot-Limit Omaha:

Mike Matusow has been the "new" Mike Matusow for several years now, long enough that it's no longer new. But that doesn't stop Matusow from rolling out the line from time to time. Matusow limped, then called a raise to 3,600 from Eli Elezra. Matusow led a {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop for 7,000, a bet which Elezra called.

The turn paired the board, {6-Spades}. Matusow led again for 13,000. Elezra raised to 34,800 but was faced with a tough decision when Matusow shoved for 82,500.

A few moments passed while Elezra thought thinks through. "Ok, I'll lay down a full house for you," he finally said.

"Do you think I have enough balls in PLO to four-bet bluff for my tournament life?" Matusow replied. He paused, then added, "Well, maybe the Old Mike."

Elezra is down to 163,000.
