Matusow Spikes a Queen
Level 29
Mike Matusow: 9♠9♦10♦/Q♣5♦Q♥10♣
Chris George: J♥J♠3♠/8♠8♦3♣Q♦
Kao Saechao: XxXx/6♠7♥J♣ - folded on fifth street
Kao Saechao completed with a six and Chris George raised it to two bets. Mike Matusow raised on top for his last 190,000 and received a call from both players.
George bet fourth and was called by Saechao. He bet again on fifth and this time got Saechao to fold, leaving him heads-up with Matusow.
Matusow was behind with nines against jacks and eights but spiked a queen for a better two pair to preserve his tournament life.
