Matusow Puts On a Show
The first three community cards were the . Matusow checked and Minieri checked behind.
The turn card was the and both players checked again.
After the river card landed with the hitting he felt, Matusow fired 15,000. Minieri moved all in, putting Matusow to the test for his last 83,400 chips. Matusow went into the tank for over five minutes and began talking out loud. Here's some of the things he said.
"I can't remember the last time I stacked off all my chips like this."
"Would you really check the flop and turn with all those diamonds, flush draws and straight draws out there?"
"It makes no sense and they say when it makes no sense, you should call."
"I really have no f***ing clue, no f***ing clue."
"Concentrate Mikey, concentrate."
"Would you believe I have two kings here? Everyone else would've beaten you into the pot by now. I should probably have beaten Dario into the pot right now."
"F***ing f***, f*** me, f*** me, f*** me."
After nearly six minutes in the tank, Poorya Nazari called the clock on Matusow. Matusow heard the clock called on him and insta-folded his hand before the countdown even began. Minieri did not show his hand and moved up to 210,000 chips. Matusow claimed to fold two kings and it seems everyone believes him.
Right after the hand, the floor put a rack in front of Matusow and informed him that they were moving him to another table.
"WHAT!?!?!" yelled Matusow, "You've gotta be on crack! No way after the beat I just took." But, he had to go.
