Matusow Climbing

The board read when we found Mike Matusow heads up with an opponent. Matusow checked and his opponent thought for a moment before checking behind. The fell on the river and Matusow fired off a bet. His opponent took a bit of time to think but finally decided on a call.

"That was a good check you made on the turn," remarked Matusow as he showed for a hand that was good enough for a scoop with trip fours and a sixty-four. Matusow is now one of the biggest stack of the room with about 125,000 in chips.
