Matusow Takes 250K Pot

Mike Matusow is proving his strength in today's game to the rest of the table. After Barry Greenstein opened the pot for 30,000 and David Benyamine called from the cutoff, Matusow declared a raise to 145,000. Benyamine made the call.

Matusow stood pat. Benyamine drew one card. After the draw, Matusow quickly checked the action to Benyamine, who checked behind and motioned to throw his cards in the muck. Matusow declared, "ten-high" and showed 10-9-6-4-2. That was enough to win the pot and take a big chunk out of Benyamine.
