Nobody is Having a Better Time than Matusow

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mike Matusow

There was some loud laughter coming from the corner of the room but it was all from the same person, Mike Matusow. Rolling around in laughter, Matusow was having the time of his life while the other seven players were either miserable, annoyed, or trying to focus on some poker.

"Have you ever laughed so hard, that you just can't stop laughing?" Matusow asked. "I don't even know why I'm laughing. I think it's because I'm in this shitty place. I don't know why I keep torturing myself."

There was also a hand taking place where three players went to a flop of 10♠8♥3♦. The action was checked to Jonathan Depa who bet 7,000 on the button. Charles Sylvestre called from the big blind and Ruslan Nazarenko came along as well.

The turn brought the 6♥ and it checked to Depa again who pushed all in for 38,000. Sylvestre folded and Nazarenko's cards quickly followed into the muck.

Another laughing fit broke out from Matusow at the end of the hand. "Nobody is having a better time than me, with less chips."

Following a flop of K♠10♥9♥, Mark Zajdner checked and Pedro Marques bet 12,000. Erik Seidel called only for Zajdner to declare a check-raise for the size of the pot and instantly mentioned the corresponding 68,500. Marques folded and Seidel came to the same conclusion.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Filip Lovric and Gerald Reyelts already had 55,000 in the middle preflop and the last few chips of Lovric then went in with the flop showing Q♣Q♠10♥, Reyelts called.

Filip Lovric: A♦K♥9♦5♥ All in
Gerald Reyelts: A♣A♠6♣5♠

The 3♣ turn and 9♣ river failed to improve Lovric and he was sent to the rail.

[Removed:549] Scoops in Three-Way All-In

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a three-way limped pot on a flop of A♠9♦7♥, all three players had all of their chips in the middle and the cards were on their backs. Gary Benson was at risk for 22,000, Jason Lademan was all in for 78,000, and [Removed:548] barely had him covered with a stack of 79,000.

Gary Benson: J♥10♦8♠7♣All in
Jason Lademan: A♣Q♥9♠6♠All in
[Removed:548]: A♥A♦3♦2♠

[Removed:549] was in the lead with a set of aces but he had a lot of cards that he needed to fade. The 2♥ on the turn was safe and the 7♠ paired the board on the river to give [Removed:549] a full house and eliminate both of his opponents.

Eddie Ochana jammed for his last 6,000 from the small blind on a flop of J♠6♥A♠. Stephen Chidwick called from the big blind before Eemil Tuominen raised the pot to 47,500. Chidwick thought for a while, and then jammed to put Tuominen all in for his remaining 40,000. Tuominen called.

Eddie Ochana: A♥10♠8♥2♦ All in
Eemil Tuominen: A♦K♠Q♦5♠ All in
Stephen Chidwick: Q♣J♦J♣9♠

Chidwick had a set, Ochana just had top pair, while Tuominen had straight and flush possibilities. The 9♥ gave Ochana some extra outs, but the K♦ river was clean for Chidwick's set. Chidwick sent two players home and added a lot of chips to his stack.

Chance Kornuth and Nacho Barbero were heads-up on a flop of K♣10♣9♦ and Barbero tossed in a bet of 10,000. Kornuth check-raised all in for 39,500 and Barbero went into the tank.

"I'm gonna randomize," Barbero said as he looked at the time. Kornuth tried to ask a couple of questions but Barbero just mulled it over for another few seconds before throwing his cards away.

"Now we're playing the game, Nacho!" Kornuth exerted as he rolled over A♥K♥J♦4♥ for just a pair of kings. "Now we're playing the game!"

"Ya, you're playing the f***ing game," Barbero replied sarcastically as he rolled his eyes

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a completed board of A♦8♦2♦3♦J♠, Philip Sternheimer checked and Richard Lee bet 6,000 in the next seat. James Czarnecki flat-called the raise and Sternheimer then check-raised to 35,000.

Lee had just about that left at his disposal and tank-called, Czarnecki folded. Lee flashed his J♦9♦8♣7♦ for the flush with the jack and it won the pot, as Sternheimer mucked.
