Action was picked up on fifth as Sternheimer called a bet from Matusow. Matusow opted to check-call on sixth after making open nines.
On seventh, Matusow checked to Sternheimer who fired out a bet and Matusow reluctantly called.
"One pair of eights," announced Sternheimer as Matusow windmilled his hole cards into the middle.
"They keep trying to rob me Daniel!" Matusow yelled across to the other table.
Matusow continued his tirade, "You can't bluff me for one bet, stop trying!"
Matusow had two pair, queens and nines, and made the right call on the end that was, in his opinion, quite heroic.
