The Set Up

Mike Matusow decided 800 chips wasn't too much to call off in late position from one early position bettor.

But when Michael Pempin made it 3,100 from the button, and the player in the big blind four-bet it up to 10k, both the early position bettor and Matusow got out of the way.

Pempin shoved and after the big blind called with queens, he laid pocket kings down on the felt. The {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop just about ended it, and although the {q-Hearts} turn made everybody look, the {2-Spades} river ensured Pempin would double.
