The Mouth Silenced

Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Stud 8/b:

Morrison - {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} / {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} / {6-Spades}
Matusow - {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} / {2-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} {j-Spades} / {j-Diamonds}

Lind - {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} / {2-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} / {k-Diamonds}
Matusow - {a-Spades} {9-Spades} / {7-Spades} {4-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {a-Hearts} / {4-Spades}

In the space of two hands, Mike Matusow went from in the tournament to on the rail. In the first hand, Morrison started with split 8s against Matusow's three diamonds. Matusow had a flush in five, but Morrison filled up on sixth street to put a big hurt on the Mouth and cripple him to 17,500.

The very next hand, Matusow got all in on third street with three spades. Although he made aces and fours by the river, George Lind had already made a flush on sixth street. That was all she wrote for Matusow.
