Now That's a Good Laydown

Minh Ly raised to 3,600 and Mike Matusow, who has been bullying his table with big re-raises, did just that by popping it to 10,000. Ly didn't think long before folding his A-K face-up. Matusow then showed his two red aces, and the two exchanged a friendly fist-bump.

Gotta Love This Game

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Right before the break, Karen Thomas won a big pot when her aces held up against pocket kings. Karen apparently is the excitable sort, because she let out a loud squeal, jumped up on her chair, and did a little dance. And then, uh, she lifted her skirt and flashed the crowd.

The other players watched the performance and then quickly headed out for break.
