Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow has just been sent out, looking very unhappy.

Just before the hand, Matusow half-convincingly reminded himself, "I'm the master of the short stack. I never give up."

On a board showing {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

, Matusow tabled {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{6-Spades}

. He had just 800 chips to start the hand, and just a pair of queens by the time it reached showdown. He was up against the nuts though, as a player knocked him out with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

. Matusow loped out of the room slowly, staring down at the floor.
