Matusow Finds the Ten-Five

Did you see that?
Did you see that?
Sean Davis opened with a raise to 75,000 before Matusow shoved over the top for a total of 545,000. The action folded around and Davis quickly called.

Matusow: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Davis: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

"I found the ten-five ladies and gentlemen!" said Matusow, displaying a quiet confidence that he could find his way out of the mess he'd just gotten himself into.

The crowd were on their feet as the flop fell {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Matusow spiked a pair to roars of delight from his fans! The turn was the the {8-Diamonds} and river the {6-Diamonds}, as the chants of "Mikey! Mikey! Mikey!" broke out around the room as Matusow found a remarkable double-up to jump up to 1.1 million in chips.

"I shifted gears at the right time baby! I feel GOOD!"
