Chips For the Mouth

Mike Matusow was in the hijack seat and flicked in a call. The remaining players then folded until it was on the player in the big blind. A tap on the table and a {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop was dealt.

The big blind led for 1,600 here and Matusow raised it up to 3,350. A call would see an {8-Spades} hit the turn. This time the big blind player opted to check-call a bet of 4,500 from Matusow and the {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river. The big blind would change it up again here, leading out for 10,000. Matusow only had 10,500 behind and pushed out his entire stack. His opponent put in the extra chips and then mucked when Matusow tabled {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a turned straight.
