Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Barry Grime: {9-Hearts}{x-}{x-} / {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Mike Matusow: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Spades} - folded on sixth street

Mike Matusow bet on fifth street and two opponents called, including Barry Grime. Matusow bet again on sixth street and Grime raised. The third player in the hand tank-folded and Matusow called.

Matusow slapped the table to check on seventh street and Grime took his time to make a decision as he grabbed another beer from the cocktail waitress.

"CHECK," Matusow growled.

Grime eventually bet and Matusow squirmed in his chair before folding.

"I bluffed him! I bluffed him!" Grime cheered before showing his hand. "I only had a pair of nines."

Matusow immediately sprung from the table and dialed a friend to relay what had happened, as Allen Kessler walked over and attempted to debunk the bluff.

"He (Grime) might have had the best hand," Kessler contributed.

"He (Matusow) was showing open jacks," a tablemate said.

"Oh," replied Kessler.
