Deevara Flops Two Pair to Double Through Matusow
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Matusow raised to 22,000 in the hijack and was called by Kenny Hallaert and Rahul Deevara in the blinds. The flop came Q♦7♣4♥ and the action checked to Matusow who continued with a bet of 30,000. Hallaert just called and Deevara ripped all in for 143,000. Matusow quickly called and Hallaert got out of the way.
Rahul Deevara: Q♠7♠
Mike Matusow: A♣Q♣
Deevara flopped two pair to hold a big lead over Matusow who just had top pair. The 3♠ and 2♥ runout changed nothing and Matusow was forced to pass over half of his stack.
