Matusow Walks the Talk

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}
Mikko Hirvonen: {x-}{x-} / {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} / {x-}
Brian Hastings: {x-}{x-} / {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Clubs} (folds on fifth)

Mike Matusow limped in along with Mikko Hirvonen and then they both called when Brian Hastings completed. On fourth, the action checked to Hirvonen who tossed in a bet and was called by both players.

Matusow was the first to bet on fifth, only to have Hirvonen raise and Hastings quickly mucked his cards. Matusow thought for a moment and then called. On sixth, Matusow led out again with four cards to a straight flush on his board. Hirvonen called and on seventh, Matusow pretended it was the first time he noticed how strong his hand looked.

"Oh, I have six, seven, eight, nine of diamonds. Almost a straight flush."

Matusow then proceeded to toss in a bet and sat with his tongue out in anticipation of what Hirvonen was going to do. Hirvonen just called and Matusow revealed {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a flush and an eight-low. Hirvonen looked back at his cards and then sent them all to the muck, sending the entire pot to Matusow.
