Friedman Willing to Lay an Extra Card to Matusow
Mike Matusow called out, "Justin, how many chips you got left in this thing?" Justin Smith just got done playing a five-hour heads-up match over in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout, which he won to move on. Smith registered for this event as well and just let himself get blinded off while he played in the other room. Matusow went to check on Smith and saw that he had 1,200 chips left.
"About as much as I got," said Matusow. He then looked around the table and said, "Don't worry, you got this idiot, this idiot and that idiot at your table, you're fine," while he pointed to a few players at Smith's current table. One of those players was Adam Friedman, who spoke up.
"We can playing anything you want, Mike. Deuce-to-seven, stud, anything," said Friedman. Matusow just laughed and wandered back to his own table before Friedman called out, "I'll give you eight cards in stud!"
"Wow! Wow!" said Greg Mueller from another table.
"Ok, you got me now," said Matusow.
