Matusow Muscles a Pot

We caught up with the action on a {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board. A player under-the-gun checked to Matusow, who was to his immediate left. Matusow fired 1,925 into the middle and his lone opponent called.

The river brought a {3-Diamonds} and Matusow's opponent again checked, prompting a 4,300 bet from Matusow. His opponent fell deep into the tank before finally sliding his hand into the muck.

"Would you have called if I shoved the river?" Matusow's opponent inquired.

Matusow nodded his head in silence. He is up to 31,000.
