Diaz Dabbling With Trips In Razz

Level 1

Razz

Matusow: (X)(X) / {7-}{2-}{Q-}{2-} / (X)
Diaz: (X)(X) / {6-}{6-}{Q-}{6-} / (X)

We picked up the action on fifth street where Mike Matusow's bet was called by Arturo Diaz. On sixth street Matusow bet again with Diaz coming along, despite showing three {6-}'s.

"Could be drawing dead already," commented Matusow.

Matusow bet seventh street and Diaz called again. Matusow showed {8-}{5-}{5-} for Q-8-7-5-2 low, besting Diaz's {8-}{A-}{7-} for a Q-8-7-6-A low.

Matsuow is up to about 160,000, while Diaz stumbled to about 142,000.
