Mike Matusow just busted from the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event and headed over to the other side of the Amazon Room to hop into the $1,500 Razz field.

"I had a classic 2005 Mike Matusow blowup," he said.

He explained the details of the hand that sent him to the rail. He called a check-raise and a river bet against an opponent with three nines.

"So now, I can either go home to my girl, who's going to be mad at me, or I can play razz and torture myself."

After a minute, tablemate Mike Ross started singing to the tune of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel. "Aaaaand Matusow blew up in the $3k," Ross sang.

Matusow joined in with his arms outstretched: "Anybody that choose to play this game, doesn't like their life."

Matusow currently has just under 10,000 chips.
