The Mouth Scoops

Mike Matusow raised from middle position, the button called, the small blind called, and Ted Forrest called from the big blind. The flop was {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The small blind checked, Forrest checked, Matusow bet, the button called, and the blinds folded. The turn was the {4-Hearts}. Matusow bet and the button called. The river was the {Q-Diamonds}. Matusow bet and the button called.

The button showed A-A in an attempt for the high, but Matusow showed A-J for trips and scooped the pot.

Sleepy Jen

During the break, Jen Harman took a quick power nap, curled up in the four and five seats at an empty table. Harman is so tiny we barely noticed her! She's now back at her table, nursing a large cup of hot tea to stay awake.

Almost a Blow-Up

On sixth street, Mike Matusow showed a board of {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} and his opponent showed {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}. After seventh street was dealt, Matusow looked at his down card and said, "well, I guess I check." His opponent thought for a long time before checking behind.

As Matusow's opponent turned up his hole cards, he said "I paired up." Matusow nearly went nuclear, thinking his A-A in the hole were cracked for high. However, his opponent only meant that he had paired his 5 on sixth. Matusow's aces took the high half, while his opponent's A-2-5-6-7 was good for low.
