Aces vs. Aces, and One Pair is Matusow's

A middle-position player raised to 24,000, Mike Matusow flat-called from late posiiton, the small blind reraised to 150,000, the initial raiser folded, Matusow moved all in, and the small blind called. Both players turned over {A-?} {A-?}.

The board ran out {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}.

"I flatted it only because it was Gus's big blind!" exclaimed Matusow as the pot was chopped up.
