Limit Hold'em
Four ways to the 10♠8♥2♠ flop, the action checked to Mike Matusow and his bet was called two ways to the 3♠ turn. Christopher Claassen checked again and David "ODB" Baker bet, Matusow called. Claassen check-raised and Baker folded while Matusow reluctantly called.
Another spade came with the 6♠ river on which Claassen's bet was barely done when Matusow flung his cards with force into the muck. Some table chatter broke out and Marco Johnson asked "What did you have, three pair?"
There was a brief moment of awkward silence before it was pointed out to Johnson that they were playing Limit Hold'em.
"You had a set of tens?" Matusow inquired.
Claassen replied "No, I had a flush".
