Nguyen Bluffs Matusow
Razz
For the last half hour or so, Mike Matusow has been dancing and singing about wanting to be back on a short stack, claiming that he plays better that way.
"On the nub again," he sang across the Amazon room. "Just can't wait to get back on the nub again."
Well, Scotty Nguyen was finally able to grant Matusow his wish after bluffing Matusow out of a big razz pot.
Nguyen: 
/ 
Matusow: / 
— Folded
Nguyen bet on fourth street and Matusow called.
"Come on, Mikey baby, you sure you want a piece of this?" Nguyen asked.
On fifth, Nguyen bet again and Matusow thought for a while, then called.
"I'm gonna bet in the dark, baby," Scotty said, betting before seeing his card. His bet was enough to put Matusow all in. "Uh oh, baby. I think I made a full house."
Matusow, unfortunately, had two pairs on the board too. He thought for a long while, then folded his hand. Nguyen showed the , showing that he had two pairs as well.
But Matusow may have been right about the short stack being better for him because on the next hand he moved all in and tripled up when he made a low and had his opponent drawing dead on sixth street.
