Matusow hand analysis @ Final Table - 2nd hand

which is a moot point if you ask me, because all the money is going to be in before the river, no matter how it is played.

obviously on the second hand of the final table, mike is not putting his opponent on AA when he has KK. it's just ridiculous to think so.

the only way this could have played out differently (obviously not resulted differently) is if, for some reason, perhaps slowplaying KK (i have no idea why he would) - if matusow just called the 1.5m. - or he reraises, but not all in as he did. then lazar smoothcalls. whatever.

anyway it *really* doesnt matter because on that flop, no matter what, all the money is going in. lazar could try to put him on KK QQ or KQ on that flop, but he's still not folding aces. would you? and even if matusow could put lazar on AA or QQ obviously mike has the nuts. no matter what, all the money goes in. lazar would either lead out with a bet or checkraise on that flop, and all the money goes in. from there - nothing in the world could possibly change how that hand ended.
