Ludo Muzzles the Mouth

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Mike Matusow has left the building. He was so oddly quiet all day, it's almost like he was never here. Roger Teska raised to 7,000, and Matusow potted to 25,500, which left him with 19,000 behind. Ludovic Lacay and Teska both flatted rather than putting him all in. The flop fell {q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} , and Teska checked. Matusow dutifully stuck in his 19,000, and Lacay potted to 84,500. Teska repotted, and Lacay called all in. Both he and Matusow were at risk to big-stack Teska.

Matusow: {a-Spades} {2-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} - top pair, top kicker
Lacay: {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} - two pair and an open-ender
Teska: {a-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Spades} - nut-flush draw

The {4-Spades} on the turn ended the sweat, giving Lacay a full house. After the meaningless {9-Clubs} river, Matusow was eliminated, Teska dropped to 150,000, and Lacay jumped up to 230,000.
