Both players checked on fifth street, then Matusow bet on sixth. Deeb looked at his hole cards, then folded.

"I'm folding a draw."

"That's because you're a good player Shaun," Matusow said. "You're never gonna double me up. Put me at one of those idiot tables."

"Which one is the idiot table?" Deeb asked.

"You know, that one over there," Matusow said as he pointed in a bunch of different directions.

Wattel: {X-}{X-} / {A-}{8-}{4-}
Volpe: {X-}{X-} / {J-}{7-}{7-}
Negreanu: {X-}{X-} / {K-} - fold

Wattel bet on fourth, Volpe called, Wattel bet on fifth, and Volpe went into the tank.

"You could have any two cards," said Volpe, before he raised. Wattel called all in.

Volpe: {3-}{2-} / {J-}{7-}{7-}
