"The Mouth" Busts "Texas Mike"

Level 13
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

As recounted to PokerNews, Mike Matusow raised in early position and called a jam from Michael Moncek behind him. Moncek drew one card and Matusow followed suit.

Moncek had started with a jack and drew an ace, while Matusow held 8x5x4x3x and peeled a Qx, telling PokerNews it was the first time in 2-7 that he has rooted for a paint card.

"I don't think I've ever played this game where I'm hoping for a paint card!"

And "The Mouth" summed up his decision to raise and call the jam as follows: "I'm trying to get chips over here!"
