Matusow Doubles Through Wong
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Keating opened to 13,000 from middle position and was called by Jerry Wong in the cutoff. Mike Matusow then moved all in for his last 46,000 on the button, getting a quick fold from Keating. Wong asked for a count before making what appeared to be a reluctant call.
Mike Matusow: K♠J♦
Jerry Wong: 8♣7♣
Matusow was ahead but Wong did have two live cards. The 2♥4♠6♥ flop gave Wong a gutshot but the K♣ turn pushed Matusow into a commanding lead. Nothing changed on the 3♦ river to send the pot to Matusow while putting a dent in Wong's stack.
