A Modest Response

Mike "The Mouth" Matusow and the Doc "The Prince of Docness" Kegal just got mixed up in a big pot. After they saw a flop of {8-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} Matusow bet 2K and the PoD raised to 4,000. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}, Matusow bet and the Prince called, and he also called Matusow's bet when the {7-Diamonds} hit on the river. Mike turned over {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades} for top two pair, but the Prince had spiked the case Queen on the turn for a set.

"Why not give this idiot another (deleted) one-outer," Matusow said to the dealer. He then said a few other items which can't be repeated on these pages and kicked a chair that was sitting between two unoccupied tables. Matusow is now at 37,000, while the Prince of Docness is up to 147,000.

Suzie Matzura Eliminates Thor Hansen

Today's event is filled with some of the biggest names in the poker, but Suzie Matzura is one you might not know...yet. Playing in her first World Series of Poker event Matzura is sitting right near the top of the leaderboard, thanks in part to a big hand she just won that eliminated Thor Hansen.

Hansen was forced to commit the last of his chips before the flop, and four players in total saw the dealer spread the {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Matzura called another player's bet, but when the {8-Hearts} hit on the turn she came out raising. She was called, and she was also called when the {Q-Hearts} fell on the river. Matuzra's Ace-high flush held on against her opponent's flopped set of Kings, and that pot ended Hansen's day and pushed Matzura's stack up to 70,000.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie

With the board reading K-2-2-J-J Huck Seed's opponent rolled over pocket Aces, hoping to scoop the pot. But Seed showed the deuce in his hand and his three little ducks were enough to win a pot that brought his stack up to 25,000.

Subject To Hyperbole

Our chip leader is the self-named "Prince of Docness" and he's sitting at the same table as Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. As you might expect, there's been occasional conversation. Now the the PoD is up over 130,000 chips Matusow shouted, "In 30 minutes the Prince of Docness has won more pots than I've won the whole tournament!"

Robert Williamson III Loses Half His Stack

Holding 2-3-4-10 and a good draw to the low after an {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop, Robert Williamson III bet and was called, and he was also called after betting the {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {Q-Spades} on the river. The only way for Williamson to win the pot was to bet, but his opponent was down to just 1,700 and made a crying call with just a pair of Aces. That was good enough to win the pot, and bad enough to drop Williamson's stack to 15,000.

A Short-Stack Exhibition

At one point today Erik Seidel was down to 3,500. At the moment he sits with 42,000, thanks to his skill at waiting for the right moment to get his remaining chips into the pot. The latest big pot he won saw Seidel scooping when his opponent turned a Broadway straight, only to run into the flush Seidel made.
