Matusow Moving in the Wrong Direction

Limit Hold'em

We found Mike Matusaw at Table 281 raising under the gun and it looked like he might just steal, but the small blind interjected and reraised. Matusow then three bet, and his opponent called.

On a {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop the small blind bet and Matusow raised, the small blind called and was all in.

Matusow: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Matusow held ace high and was going to need to dig up an ace or a king in order to take control of the hand. A {9-Clubs} fourth street changed nothing as Matusow was still behind. The {3-Spades} river sealed the deal and the small blind was able to double up. Matusow has now dipped below the 50,000 mark and sits with around 40,000 in chips.
