Matusow Doubles One Up
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
On a board showing 
, Mike Matusow faced an all-in bet from Bradley Hinson for 21,200 with roughly 20,000 already in the pot. Matusow was thinking about his decision, as a call represented about one-fifth of his remaining stack. Eventually, he put in the chips to call, and the hands were tabled.
Matusow: 
Hinson: 
Matusow was behind but had outs to a straight, trips, or two pair. The river 
was not what Matusow needed, though, and that gave Hinson the double-up with his pocket aces.
