Matusow Folds to Galipienso's Pressure After Lengthy Tank
Mike Matusow and Adrian Garcia Galipienso were heads-up on a board of J♥10♠3♦4♦ with a sizable pot already in the middle.
Matusow was in the big blind and checked to Galipienso, who bet 55,000. Matusow called.
The 8♣ completed the board and Matusow checked again — prompting Galipienso to shove, which was enough to put Matusow all in for approximately 120,000.
Matusow went deep into the tank and riffled his chips as he contemplated his decision for his tournament life.
"They always say go with your gut," Matusow said.
Eventually, the clock was called on Matusow and one of the floor staff informed him he had 30 seconds to act.
Matusow laid his hand down with about five seconds to go and Galipienso was sent the pot.
"I should have went with my gut," Matusow said. "If you're wrong, you just move onto the next tournament."
Matusow was eliminated shortly after the hand occurred.
