Matusow Caught With His Hand in the Cookie Jar
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
A player had opened and Mike Matusow three-bet from the button to 76,000. Janet Hornung four-bet all in for 121,000 from the big blind and the initial raiser folded.

"Hand in the cookie jar," muttered someone at the table as Matusow committed his chips to the pot.

gave Hornung trips and left Matusow drawing very slim. The turn and river 
changed nothing and Hornung doubled up.
"I was waiting to get him," said Matusow. "And this is what happens.
"Waiting and waiting...letting him and letting him..."
