Matusow Chipping Up
Level 8
: Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante
Q♦5♣4♥A♠7♠
A♣Q♠K♥9♣K♠
Action was picked up with 21,000 in the pot, and Mike Matusow was all in from early position with K♣J♠10♠6♥ on the turn. David Rees was all in from the small blind with J♣9♥3♦2♦, and Nicholas Petitti called with A♦Q♣4♦2♣.
Rees took the top board with the wheel straight, Matusow took the bottom board by hitting a king on the river, which improved his hand to three of a kind. Petitti's two pair was no good.
