Easy Double Up For Matusow

No-Limit Hold'em

We caught the action on a {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board when Mike Matusow checked to Chris Tryba who bet 1,775. Matusow played with his chips for a while before announcing he was all in. The raise was for about 10,000 extra chips, and Tryba almost called intantly.

Mike Matusow{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Chris Tryba{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Matusow was in superb shape, and he doubled up when the {K-Clubs} hit the river. Matusow seemed flustered by what just happened, but he happily stacked his new chips.

Van der Fluit Leads The Way

Vincent van der Fluit, winner of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, has just busted another player. He grabbed the chip lead, and is cruising along in this event.

Van der Fluit told us he raised under the gun to 1,000 in No-Limit Hold'em, and a short stack pushed for his final 5,100. Van der Fluit told us this player had just folded in a big pot, and because of that he was more inclined to make the call.

Van der Fluit's opponent tabled {J-}{10-Spades} and the Dutchman was ahead with {K-}{Q-}. The flop brought out {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, but the turn and river bricked giving Van der Fluit some more chips to work with.
