Mike Matusow: Qx4x3x/7xJxKx5x All in
Timothy Finne: Qx8x6x/3x7xKx10x

Mike Matusow committed his stack in preflop, less than one big bet, and was at risk versus two players, including Timothy Finne.

Finne bet fourth street, which forced the other player out.

Once the rest of the cards were dealt, Matusow peeled his down cards looking to beat a ten-low, but was unable to do so.
