The Mouth Defends His Blind...Verbally

"The Mouth" has been talking up a storm while sitting out his one round penalty. He threatened to put a "mark" on anyone at the table who tried to steal his big blind without a premium hand.

A player in middle position raised it up to 750 and Eric Assadourian pushed all in for about 7,500. The action folds around and Assadourian collects the pot, including Matusow's defenceless big blind, and shows {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}!

Matusow and Assadourian burst into laughter as Matusow seems happy that Assadourian stole the pot without a hand as he goes over and gives him a high five! These two are providing plenty of entertainment for the large gathering on the rail here in the Crown Poker room!
