One Pair Works for Matusow

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Omaha High Only

"Write that down in the report. Mike is above the starting stack for the first time in four events," the remark by Mike Matusow came as he had just clawed his way to more than what he started with.

Right after, Joao Vieira raised and Matusow three-bet in this limit variant. Matusow bet the {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop and the {j-Spades} turn, both of which Vieira called. They checked the {2-Diamonds} on the river and Matusow announced one pair. He then tabled the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a pair of kings and Vieira mucked.
