Matusow Gives Up

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow opened to 300 from middle position and found two callers, the player in the two seat and the big blind. The flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the player in the big blind checked as did Matusow. The player in the two seat bet 550 and the player in the big blind and Matusow both folded.

Of Matusow's 43 career WSOP cashes, 15 of them have come in an 8 or better game, so he's always a threat when it's a split pot tournament.

Level: 5

Blinds: 100/200

Ante:

Williams Quartered but Quarters

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We got to the table with a flop of {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and there were three players all-in. The shortest-stack was in the one seat and David Williams was all in and at risk against the bigger stack in the two seat. The hands were turned over for all to see:

Seat 1: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and a ten high flush draw
Seat 2: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the nut low draw and a gutshot straight draw
WIlliams: {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a whole bunch of draws

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, bringing the flush for both Williams and the player in Seat 1. The river was the {A-Hearts}, giving Williams the nut low to go with his small flush. Williams would win 3/4 of the side pot from the player in Seat 2. Those two would each get 1/4 of the main pot, while the short-stack in Seat 1 would get half for his flush.

Level: 6

Blinds: 150/300

Ante:

Field Approaching Record Number

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

The number of entrants is up to 954 and with registration still open, the tournament could exceed the record of 978 set in 2012. It's already the second most for a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low tournament at the WSOP, exceeding the 946 entrants in 2011.

Last year, the total was 936 and way back in 2010, it was 847. It's been fairly consistent at over 925 for the last four years, and four figures is still within the realm of possibility today.
