Matusow's Good Both Ways
Mike Matusow is regarded as one of the premier omaha players in the world. He's up to 9,400 in chips (no rebuys left) after taking down a recent pot uncontested on the river. The board showed whe Matusow's lone opponent, the small blind, bet 350 into a pot of 700. Matusow raised pot to 1,750, eventually inducing a fold. Matusow showed anyway -- for the nut low and and the nut straight.
"It was a big river," said Matusow. "As long as he wasn't full it was a good hand."
