That sucked for Matusow. Got him all-in way ahead and got sucked out by a gutshot.

"way ahead" I don't know about that. It was an awful beat but the guy had lots of outs. It just happens that the gutterball came.

horrible beat

10 outs twice is a horrible beat? Am I missing something

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed. Phil is acting like the guy need a runner-runner. At the time of the all-in Mike was only 59.8% likely to win. He's a favorite, but it is much closer to a coin-flip than a horrible beat.

The post-flop is actually an improvement from pre-flop for MM, though not much changed:

well he didn't have a blow up, he lost a couple of tough pots, but I do have a new found respect for this guy. Was not a fan of the guy before the ME, but he has grown on me. I still think he is tool, but he has skills and he is funny and can be self depricating. cant knock that.

well done.

Being interviewed. What about you?

Matusow is composed, but clearly disappointed. He's keeping his composure very well, and there are no outbursts or anger. EVERYONE is stunned.

FYP

[InAPipeDream]

Forget your stats, it WAS a bad beat...Matusow played great...who would go in w/ an A and low kicker THAT late? STUPID!!!!!

[Chipr777]

I second that. Was a race to begin with and just over 60-40 after the flop.
