Presto! Matusow Wins a Race

Mike Matusow called down an opponent's preflop all-in for 73,000 in chips. Matusow held {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, and his opponent was at risk of elimination with his {5-?} {5-?}.

The board ran out {A-?} {Q-?} {7-?} {A-?} {3-?}, and Matusow won the race to knock out another player. He has chipped up to a respectable 485,000.
