Matusow's Good Both Ways

Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow is regarded as one of the premier omaha players in the world. He's up to 9,400 in chips (no rebuys left) after taking down a recent pot uncontested on the river. The board showed {q-Clubs} {q-Hearts} {5-Spades} {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} whe Matusow's lone opponent, the small blind, bet 350 into a pot of 700. Matusow raised pot to 1,750, eventually inducing a fold. Matusow showed anyway -- {a-Spades} {2-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} for the nut low and and the nut straight.

"It was a big river," said Matusow. "As long as he wasn't full it was a good hand."
