Default Re: Matusow will dominate

This is not a meltdown. Matusow aggressively played his big stack with the nut flush draw and Ace overcard. He simply got picked off by middle pair.

That's why I mentioned it was a "good test". He lost a hand that he had a lot of chips invested in. When that happens late in a tournament (from what I've seen), he tends to compound the loss by going on mega-tilt and throwing chips away on mistake after mistake, even though the original play is rarely a mistake.

As it turns out, it looks like he's back up a few 100k chips since then, so it appears he didn't melt down this time around. Good for him.
