Ace High Good for Matusow

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

In a raised pot, the flop showed {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} when, after some thought, Mike Matusow check-called a bet from his opponent situated in the cutoff.

The turn brought a {8-Hearts} and the same action happened for 1,200. On the {a-Diamonds} river, Matusow check-called again for another 1,200 and saw his opponent snap-muck his hand. Matusow quickly showed {a-}{6-} for an ace-high call, which was good.
