"That's so sick," Matusow said before calling.
He needn't have worried, as his was miles ahead of the held by the player on the button.
The dealer burned and turned a , and Matusow had his opponent covered.
Before Vanessa Selbst took the poker world by storm over the past few years, earning $10,548,896 to date, Kathy Liebert spent the better part of the last decade as poker's top earning female.
Her $5,938,818 in career live tournament earnings is still nothing to sneeze at and she's off to a relatively decent start here today.
She checked her option after Galen Hall limped in from the small blind in a recent hand and they went heads-up to the flop. Hall led out for 200 and Liebert called allowing the dealer to burn and turn the . Hall then bet 600 and Liebert folded, taking a small step back on her way forward, now sitting on 38,900.
Chris Moorman called a bet of 4,000 from Gaelle Baumann in position on a board of . Baumann put her last 10,000 in on the river, and Moorman snap-called.

The bracelet winner the last time the World Series of Poker spread a $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em tournament back in 2012 doesn't appear to be faring as well at the start here.

Two very active players are seated side by side over on Table #368. But being in a ton of pots hasn't helped either Dwyte Pilgrim or Ludovic Lacay very much today.
Both have less than they started with and were caught tangling over a recent pot. Lacay checked-called a 700-chip Pilgrim bet on the flop, before both checked the river.
Lacay took the lead after the river, making it 1,200, but Pilgrim quickly fired back, raising it up to 3,800. Pilgrim mumbled something about not being the only one who can raise it up on the river and Lacay folded his hand.
With the board having come , Marvin Rettenmaier was all in on the button for 11,800. His opponent thought for a couple of minutes before calling, and Rettenmaier showed him for the nut full house.
Jason Koon appeared to be in the midst of a rather tough decision, groaning as Sorel Mizzi bet 6,400 into almost 9,000 following the river on a board.
He spent a good two minutes in the tank before eventually emerging with a fold. Mizzi had just recently been moved onto the table and appears to have righted the ship after a slow start while Koon's early level profits have declined.
