Matusow Over Obst
Level 21
: 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Badugi
From the small blind, James Obst limped in. Mike Matusow raised and Obst called.
On the first draw, Obst took two while Matusow took one. Obst checked, Matusow bet, and Obst called.
On the second draw, both players took one. This time Obst bet and Matusow called.
On the last draw, both players took one again. Obst checked. Matusow bet. Obst sighed, then called. Matusow showed 
for a three-card badugi and that earned a muck from Obst.
"I was happy with the first three but I was even happier when I drew the second ace," Matusow said.
