Matusow Heating Up

Stud-8

Just a few hands ago Mike Matusow was down to his last 5,000, but after going on a heater he's back up to 45,000

Matusow had a short-stacked Thomas Koral all in on fourth street and their boards looked like this.

Matusow: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} / {k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / {a-Spades}
Koral: {x-}{3-} / {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{x-} / {10-}

Matusow and Koral both had two pair on seventh street, but Matusow's aces and kings were superior to the tens and threes of Koral and he hit the rail. Matusow is certainly on fire to have built his stack up to where he is now and it will be interesting to see if he can keep it going.
