Crazy Marco Drives Matusow Batty

Stud:

Johnson: (X) (X) / {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} / (X)
Matusow: (X) (X) / {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} / (X)

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 {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades} 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.
