Matusow Wins First Pot of the Day

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Mike Matusow has been understandably frustrated with the early stages of Day 3. According to the four-time bracelet winner, who recently lost a big chunk to tablemate Greg Jamison, he had not won a single pot since play resumed.

Matusow opened to 75,000 without much behind and Eli Elezra called out if the big blind. The flop fanned out {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Elezra bet enough to put Matusow at risk. Matusow put his remaining 64,000 in the middle and the cards were tabled.

Eli Elezra: {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Mike Matusow: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Matusow scooped to double up.
