Mantel Takes From Matusow
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 0 ante
Mike Matusow had just taken his seat in the tournament when he found himself tangled in a hand with Ariel Mantel.
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Mantel in the big blind and Matusow in the hijack. The flop read 9?K?J? and both players checked to the 2? turn that saw Mantel check to Matusow who bet and Mantel called.
On the river 10? Mantel took the betting lead and Matusow called asking "Flush?"
Mantel nodded and turned over J?J?5?3? for a flush. Matusow nodded and flashed 7?5? for an inferior flush as he mucked his hand, ceding the pot to Mantel.
