Mike Matusow: "Where's the Kiddie Game?"

A player raises from the cutoff to 12,400, Mike Matusow moves all in, and his opponent folds. Matusow shows {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and asks Francois Safieddine (who is at the same table but not in the hand), "Where's the kiddie game?"

A few hands later, Ville Wahlbeck raises from early position to 8,000, Matusow calls, the small blind moves all in, Wahlbeck folds, and Matusow calls with J-J. The small blind shows A-K, and it's a race situation. The board comes {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and Matusow's jacks hold up to win the pot and bust his opponent.

Matusow claims he called because he put both the initial raiser and the small blind on an ace. (Though the initial raiser claims he didn't have one.)
