It's tough not to know when Mike Matusow is involved in a big pot. He caught our attention on sixth street when Marco "Crazy Marco" Johnson bet and then called a raise from Matusow. On the river, Johnson checked, and Matusow fired a bet. Then Johnson check-raised, prompting a mini-explosion from the Mouth. Matusow made the call unhappily, and Johnson revealed for rolled up jacks that filled up on the river. Matusow mucked with his trademark, um, cheerfulness. He slipped to 80k while Marco built to 110k.

"My kicker is bad," Deeb said.
"What pair do you have?" Greenstein asked.
"Sevens," Deeb replied.
After a bit more hemming and hawing, Deeb folded face-up, conceding the pot to Greenstein.
"Now would be a good time to show the bluff," George Ting said.
"I wouldn't bluff Freddy because he calls too much," Greenstein replied.
Greg Raymer is down to just 30,000 chips after committing a quarter of his stack pre-flop in PLO against Brian Hastings.
