"Matusow Blowup?!"

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

With about 9,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Doug Polk checked from late position. Mike Matusow was in the hijack and bet 3,400. Polk thought for a moment and called.

The river was the {9-Clubs}, and Polk checked. Matusow quickly checked back, and Polk tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a flush. Matusow flashed his hand to Polk and quickly tossed his cards into the muck.

As Polk was raking in the pot, a player at the table behind shouted out, "Matusow blowup?!" The few players who overheard it had a chuckle, and Matusow calmly received his next hand.
