Matusow Lays Down a Big One
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With 9,200 in the pot, and a board reading 6♣3♣2♥ Adam Wilkinson checked his option over to Mike Matusow, who bet out for 6,500. Without thinking, Wilkinson placed in a huge stack of pink 5,000 denomination chips, that would have put Matusow all in for his remaining 21,500 had he called.
Wilkinson let Matusow know, that he "wasn't flushing", prompting Matusow to fold his overpair of 9♥9♣ face up, and surrender the pot to Wilkinson. Wilkinson thought about showing his hand, before tabling 7♣7♥ showing he would've been in awful shape had Matusow called.
