Phil Hellmuth

Aciton folded to Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in the small blind and he raised to 2,400. Phil Hellmuth called out of the big blind. "I'm just testing the waters," announced Matusow.

Matusow then drew three cards while Hellmuth drew one. Both players checked after the draw and Matusow revealed {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

{10-?}

{7-?}

{2-?}

and said, "You gotta play the nuts around here."

Hellmuth studied his hand for a minute and then showed {9-?}

{9-?}

{9-?}

before mucking his cards.

Round one to Matusow.
