That's the tune Mike Matusow is singing after doubling through chip leader Michael Mizrachi moments ago. Matusow was all in preflop for 16,100 with against Mizrachi's meager , and the board gave "The Mouth" some talking chips at the feature table.
The hand barely did any damage to Mizrachi's stack. He's still cruising with around 240,000.
Rich Belsky has been rather quiet since building a massive stack early in the day, but he's trending back in the right direction here in Level 9. After he lost a pair of all-ins to slide down to around 70,000, Belsky and another player saw a raised flop of . The player in the big blind led out for 5,000 and Belsky made it 15,000 to go. After some quiet deliberation, the big blind tossed his hand into the muck. Belsky has climbed back to around 90K, well above the 53K average.
He had his chip stack above the 250k mark and into what appears to be the chip lead when it folded around to him on the button. He made it 1,900 only to see the small blind ship his 11k short stack in the middle.
Mizrachi made the call with and was way behind the small blind's , but when you're running this well, you're never that far behind.
The flop came , and after the turn, Mizrachi began apologizing for what was to be his foe's misfortune.
In the end, the came down on the river and instead of the short stack doubling up, he was forced to chop the pot with a red-hot Mizrachi.
The decibel level at the feature table just kicked up a few notches. The talkative Travell Thomas has joined Mike Matusow and Michael Mizrachi under the bright lights directly in front of us. Thomas didn't waste any time mixing it up; after running queens into aces for a small loss, Thomas sent another player to the rail when his pocket tens held up against after all the chips went in preflop. The 2010 Seneca Niagara Player of the Year now has close to 70,000 chips.
Within minutes of sitting down at his new table, Mike Matusow lost a sizable pot to Micheal Mizrachi, and then busted a short stack. We missed the hand against Mizrachi, but walked over just in time to catch the elimination.
Matusow opened the pot preflop from middle position and the player to his left moved all in for around 6,000. Action folded back to Matusow, who called, and the cards went on their backs.

Matusow: "That's a BETTER card for me!"
Matusow is still limping after the big loss to Mizrachi, but this helps ease the wounds a little.
Cheektowaga's own Jonathan Dimmig has emerged as the chip leader.
He told PokerNews his biggest hand of the day came when he flopped a set of tens against a Broadway straight. All the money went in the middle on the turn and he rivered a boat to collect what amounted to more than 50k.
It hasn't been all luck for Dimmig, however, as we just managed to witness him flashing signs of some serious skills.
The hand began with a raise to 2,500 from Travell Thomas on the button. Dimmig responded with a three-bet to 5,500 from the small blind and after Thomas called, they went heads-up to the flop.
Dimmig immediately led out for another 5,500, but when Thomas made it 17k, effectively commiting himself to the pot, Dimmig folded face up.
Thomas showed for the straight, letting Dimmig know his two pair was no good and he'd made a rather good fold.
The players have returned to their seats and the cards are back in the air.
Mike Matusow's table was broken during the dinner break and he's been moved back to the feature table with fellow DeepStacks Pro Michael Mizrachi. Let the fireworks ensue.
