Noam Folds Flush

Jan_Kores

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Danny Noam was in the big blind, facing off against Anton Bertilsson on the button. The action was on the turn, with on the board. Noam checked, and Bertilsson bet 12,500.

Noam went into deep thought, counting his remaining stack. Then he lifted his cards in the air. He peeked at them one more time, but the action was evident; he was going to fold.

Eventually, Noam picked two of his cards and threw them onto the felt face-up. They were for a jack-high flush and a redraw to a straight flush.

Noam, however, apparently believed that Bertilsson held a better flush and made a huge laydown.

The cards were being swept up by the dealer and yet another pot was being pushed to Randal Brown. Mike Matusow was gathering up his belongings and looking a bit down in the mouth having just been felted by Brown.

Matusow has been projecting a lot of positivity this year at the WSOP, predicting great results for himself, particularly in the Main Event that starts Saturday, July 8.

This wasn’t his day, though, as a late registration led to an early exit.
