Matusow Back to the Nub
Razz
Mike Matusow gave up two razz hands on late streets and his stack is now thin again.
The first hand saw Matusow complete with a four and Gabe Paul called, also having a four face up. Matusow bet his deuce on fourth street and Paul called with a nine. "That's a bad call. First bad call you've made today," Matusow told Paul.
Matusow continued on fifth but Paul stuck around. "That's a good call," Matusow observed before Paul hit an ace on sixth and led out. Matusow contemplated for a bit but then folded his hand, showing an ace and declaring an ace-seven in his hole.
Mike Matusow: 
/ 
(folded on sixth street)
Gabe Paul: / 
The second hand brought a complete from Valentin Vornicu and Matusow called before he hit a second wheel card on fourth street. He took the betting lead and fired but Vornicu called and led out on fifth. Matusow called and led out on sixth when Vornicu paired his three. The WSOP Circuit legend called.
Mike Matusow: / 
/ (folded on seventh street)
Valentin Vornicu: /

Matusow checked on seventh and Vornicu placed in one more bet. Matusow studied the hand for more than two minutes. "No shame in folding," Vornicu offered an advice. Matusow eventually took it, leaving the pot to Vornicu.
