Matusow Flops a Set, Doesn't Get Paid
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
James Sgro opened to 5,000 from middle position and then called after Mike Matusow three-bet to 12,000 out of the small blind.
Matusow continued for 15,000 following the Q?9?J? flop. Sgro thought for a while before deciding to lay down his hand and was rewarded with some good news from Matusow as he flipped over Q?Q? for the flopped set, telling Sgro that he had opted for a large sizing as he thought his opponent held jacks for a lower set.
