Shak Value Bluffs Matusow
Level 5
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw Lowball
Dan Shak raised under the gun, and Mike Matusow called to his direct left.
Both players took two cards on the first draw. Shak bet, Matusow raised, and Shak called. On the second draw, both players drew one and checked the subsequent betting round. They exchanged another card on the final draw, after which Shak bet. Matusow took some time before flicking in a call.
Shak had his hand ready to muck face-down, but Matusow showed 
for a pair of deuces.
"Oh, he has a pair?" Shak asked. He then showed 
for the winner.
"I knew he was bluffing," grumbled Matusow after the hand.
"Yeah, I was," quipped Shak as he stacked up the chips.
