Monnette Raises Out Matusow

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the river in a pot between John Monnette in first position and Mike Matusow in early position with 11,300 in the middle.

The board read 9629K and Monnette checked over to Matusow who bet 7,000, prompting Monnette to raise to 20,000.

"This is a weird hand," muttered Matusow as he contemplated his options. He thought for just under a minute before opting to toss his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to the fellow WSOP bracelet winner.
