Matusow Rivers Nuts

In a battle of the blinds Mike Matusow completed and David Benyamine checked his option.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Matusow checked, Benyamine bet and Matusow called. The turn of {6-Diamonds} was checked by both players. The river brought the {3-Hearts} and Matusow bet out. Benyamine flashed {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-?}-X and folded as Matusow says "That was a pretty good river for me...it gave me the NUTS!" as he flashed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}-X.

Matusow is now back in contention with about 420,000 chips.

Chiu, Matusow Chop

All the chips were in on the turn with Matusow holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} against Chiu's {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts} as Matusow takes the high with two pair and Chiu makes a low to survive. Chop it up!

Interesting Chopped Hand

Jason Gray continued his aggressive play from position and raised it up from the cutoff before Ram Vaswani reraised from the button. The blinds folded and Gray made the call.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Gray checked, Vaswani bet and Gray called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river brought the {2-Hearts} and Gray quickly fired out a bet. Vaswani thought for several moments before making a crying call.

Gray showed {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nut low, with Vaswani showing {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for just a pair of queens but it was a good call as he collected the high hand.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and Gray checked, Leonidas bet for 60,000 and Gray went into the tank before laying down his hand.
