Matusow Doubles Twice Through Zinno

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Anthony Zinno raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Mike Matusow called all in for 5,500 from the big bind. Zinno showed {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and both Matusow and Zinno agreed to let the board run out before Matusow turned over his hand.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Matusow ripped over a {K-Spades}. He slowly sweated his second card and said, "I can't win."

However, he turned over a {K-Diamonds} for pocket kings.

"Holy shit," exclaimed Matusow. "I saw a line! I swear I thought I was dead!"

In the next hand, Matusow shoved from the small blind for about 18,000 and Nicholas Derke folded {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} face up in the big blind.

In the following hand, Matusow jammed from the button for 30,500 with {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Zinno called from the big blind with {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

The board came down {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, giving Matusow jacks and fives to double up though Zinno again.
