Two Big Hands Lead to the Silencing of "The Mouth"

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

At the tail end of Level 21 (5,000/10,000), Mike "Mouth123" Matusow raised from the hijack to 20,000 holding the {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} (as seen on his popular live stream) and Ryan "Flipflip" Lenaghan three-bet to 75,000 next to act. Action folded back to Matusow and he opted to call to see the {j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop.

Matusow checked and Lenaghan bet the pot of 165,000, which barely had Matusow covered. "The Mouth" hit the tank and used some of his time bank before ultimately laying it down and leaving himself 159,252.

"If there's not two spades out there I'm going with that hard," Matusow said.

Not long after, "thehofffx" raised to 22,500 from the button and Matusow popped it to 77,500 from the small blind. "thehofffx" four-bet it big and Matusow called off for right around 160K.

Mike "Mouth123" Matusow: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
"thehofffx": {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop meant there was no low, and that left Matusow with ace high. As such, "thehofffx" claimed the pot with two pair.

With that, Matusow was eliminated in 37th place for $1,754.29.

The short-stacked Vincent "ALLinVin" Moscati, a seven-time WSOPC ring winner, raised to 28,000 under the gun, which left him just 212 behind. Mike "Mouth123" Matusow called from the button and "JfromFW" came along from the small blind to make it three-way action to the {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop.

Two checks saw Matusow bet 33,333, "JfromFW" folded, and Moscati called off his paltry stack.

Mike "Mouth123" Matusow: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Vincent "ALLinVin" Moscati: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Matusow was firmly ahead with two pair and the only low, and he scored the knockout after the {6-Diamonds} appeared on the turn followed by the {q-Diamonds} on the river.
