Urbanovich Backs Into Straight Against Matusow
Level 8
: Limits 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Mike Matusow: 8♦7♦6♥ / A♠J♦J♣9♠
Dzmitry Urbanovich: 7♣6♣5♦ / 8♣Q♠4♥9♦
Dzmitry Urbanovich completed and was called by recent Event #55: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better runner-up Mike Matusow.
Fourth street checked through and Matusow led out with a bet on fifth street. Urbanovich called and the same action took place on sixth street.
Matusow checked on seventh street and called a final bet from Urbanovich, who tabled his straight to the frustration of "The Mouth."
"I didn't even know you could have a straight draw," Matusow said as he folded.
Elsewhere, Matusow's old rival Shawn Sheikhan has taken his seat in the Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship.
