Matusow Runs into Aces Again
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
We've just lost Mike Matusow after he ran into pocket aces again, not too long after doubling up Erik Seidel in a huge pot where he had kings.
On Matusow's last hand he raised to 5,000 and Alexander Venovski three-bet to 12,700. Matusow gave it some thought before moving all in and Venovski snap-called.
"Aces again?" Matusow cried, as Venovski nodded.
Venovski showed 
and Matusow shook his head as he turned over 
.
"I almost folded," Matusow said.
The board ran out 
and Matusow was knocked out.
"Would you have folded?" Matusow asked Seidel who shook his head.
"You had 22 big blinds with ace-king," Venovski said to console his opponent, and Matusow left the room.
