Matusow Stays Alive Against Chalot
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mike Matusow jammed for 230,000 from the hijack and was called by Benjamin Chalot on the button to put Matusow at risk.
Mike Matusow: A♦8♣
Benjamin Chalot: A♠Q♣
Matusow was well behind against the better ace of Chalot; however, the flop had other plans for Matusow as it came K♣6♦8♠ to reverse the tables on Chalot.
The 10♣ turn did not change the rankings of the hand, and the 7♦ river completed the board to award Matusow the double-up.
