Matusow Caught With His Hand in the Cookie Jar

Will Shillibier

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.

"The worst part about calling," said Matusow as he deliberated, "Is that I have to show..."

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

Janet Hornung:
Mike Matusow:

The flop 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..."

Hill Kerby

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in middle position raised to 20,000 and action folded around to Michael Soccio in the big blind. He three-bet to 57,000 and his opponent four-bet to put Soccio to a decision for his total stack of 543,000.

Soccio went into the tank for over two minutes, talking himself through his thought process. At one point, his voice was audible enough to hear him say that his opponent's line made no sense. Eventually, he made the call.

Michael Soccio:
Opponent:

The two players both found themselves in identical situations before the flop which came .

Soccio became animated about his newly found nine outs to a double, exclaiming and predicting that another club would come.

The turn came .

"C'mon, Marcio!" Soccio said to the dealer who was unable to keep a poker face, cracking a smile as Soccio's excitement grew.

The river fell to complete Soccio's wish, fill up his flush, and secure his double up.

"That's my dude right there!" Soccio exclaimed. "That's my dude!"

His chips were then totaled to the aforementioned figure of 543,000 and his opponent paid him, bringing him north of seven figures just before the second break of the day.
