Matusow Doubles Up but It Isn't Enough
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
After an open by the player under the gun, Mike Matusow in the small blind went into the tank before raising all-in for 24,000. The big blind folded and the under-the-gun player called.
Mike Matusow : K♣10♠ 
Under-the-gun player: 2♠2♥
Matusow had to win a flip to survive. But it didn't start that well with a flop of 7♥9♥K♥ which gave hit top pair but also a flush draw to his opponent.
"I'm going to hold" Matusow said after the 3♠. And he was right, as he doubled up after the A♣ river.
Despite this double, Matusow was eliminated a few hands later.
