Matusow Waits Until Last Minute to Bust Stein

Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

A match which started with friendly banter and ended when the blinds pushed play to its limit with a preflop all-in sends Mike 'the Mouth' Matusow on to Round Two of the ��10,000 Heads Up Championship. The final hands: {K-Spades} {J-Spades} for Matusow with which he called Stein's all in immediately finding him with a promisingly-behind {J-Clubs} {7-Spades}. The flop saw Stein urging a Ten to pop out: {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}... but the deck didn't oblige, sending instead the {Q-Hearts} and the {8-Hearts} which meant play ended with a handshake and Matusow genuinely giving his opponent respect for, "A great game!"
