Grimes Silences the Mouth

Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Action folded to Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in the cutoff and he opened for 2,100. Terry Grimes was on the button and pushed back to the tune of 4,200, and after the blinds got out of the way, Matusow shipped for roughly 26,000. Grimes made a quick call and Matusow was in trouble.

Showdown
Matusow: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Grimes: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Matusow was in need of some help and found a little on the {J-Spades}{X-Spades}{X-Spades} flop, which gave him a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, neither the {A-Hearts} turn nor {9-Diamonds} river would fill that draw and Matusow's 2012 World Series of Poker came to an end here on Day 2.
