Kiddie Game's Down the Street

"Kiddie game's down the street!"
"Kiddie game's down the street!"

Jason Lester and Mike Matusow were heads-up on the turn with the board reading {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}. There was roughly 15,000 in the middle, and Matusow made a pot-sized shove. Lester tank called, but was in bad shape.

Matusow: {k-}{k-}
Lester: {j-}{j-}

Only a jack would eliminated Matusow, and he survived when the {8-Spades} hit the river. The Mouth is now up to 57,000 chips, while his good friend Lester dropped to about 33,000.
