Matusow Getting Busy

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow open-jammed all in from the cutoff for 31,000 and was looked up by Ayman Qutami in the big blind who had Matusow covered.

Mike Matusow: A9 All in
Ayman Qutami: Q9

A mixed bag flop for Matusow of 4QA but when the A peeled off on the turn he was safe. The 7 rolled off on the river to seal the deal and Matusow was shipped the pot for a double up.

The very next hand Matusow raised to 8,000 from the hijack and Paul Sokoloff called from the cutoff. Qutami sat in the small blind pumped it up to 21,000.

Action came back around to Matusow who moved all in, this time for 66,500. Sokoloff folded quickly and Qutami tanked for a while before he released his hand to send back-to-back pots to Matusow.
