Mike Matusow: {x-}{x-}/{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}/{x-}
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-}/{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}/{x-}

Phil Hellmuth completed and he was called by Mike Matusow. Hellmuth bet again on fourth and Matusow called.

"You don't believe me or what, Mikey?" Hellmuth asked.

"You know what Phil," Matusow said. "I really don't believe you."

On fifth, Hellmuth bet again and Matusow called. Matusow called again on sixth when Hellmuth bet.

On seventh, Hellmuth bet again. Matusow went into the tank.

"It wasn't that I didn't believe you, Phil," Matusow said. "I just picked up a flush draw.

Matusow showed his {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a pair and a flush draw, then mucked.

"Ahh, now it makes sense," Hellmuth said. "You know I'm playing tight."

Hellmuth flashed Matusow his cards, then mucked his hand and raked in the pot. Matusow just nodded as he was knocked down to under 5,000 chips.
