Mike Matusow Doubles Up

On the first hand after Greenstein's elimination, Mike Matusow moved all in. Jeff Lisandro, looking to end it, called.

Each player drew one card.

Matusow: 9-6-5-3-x
Lisandro: 10-8-5-2-x

"Let me have him drawing dead," Matusow pleaded as he squeezed his card. "Don't let me double up baby. It's over if I double up." He peeled up the corner of the card.

"You have to make a hand now," he said, looking squarely at Lisandro. He turned up a ten for 10-9-6-5-3.

Lisandro peeled his own card, then flipped it over.

"Pairs the eight!" Matusow yelled jubilantly. He ran around the stage, high-fiving all the spectators who were out of their seats. "Watch out! Lotta heart baby!"
