David "Bakes" Baker opened to 7,000 from under the gun and was called by Maury Barrett on the button and Mike Matusow in the big blind.
On the 10♠9♦3♦ flop, Matusow led for 10,000, Baker quickly folded, and Barrett called.
Matusow led again for 18,000 on the K♥ turn and Barrett stuck around.
Matusow then slowed down with a check on the flush-completing Q♦ river before Barrett announced a bet of 30,000 into a pot of 80,600 which represented the majority of the chips he had behind. After a small tank, Matusow decided to lay it down, claiming that he had queen-jack-nine-nine for middle set which turned a straight but was downgraded on the river.
