Poker Tournaments

"The Mouth" Roars

Some said Mike Matusow didn't belong in the field of 64 at the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. But Matusow slienced the doubters on Saturday by emererging victorious in the invitation-only event, earning $750,000 in the process.

Matusow defeated his good friend Phil Hellmuth in the championship match and denied Hellmuth of becoming the first two-time winner of the event. To reach the final, Matusow beat Scott Seiver and Hellmuth ousted Joe Serock in the semifinals.

Here's how the final hand played out, as reported by PokerNews' Donnie Peters and Pamela Maldenado:

Mike Matusow raised to 32,000 on the button, and Phil Hellmuth called to see the

flop. Hellmuth checked, and Matusow bet 30,000. Hellmuth called.

The turn was the

, and Hellmuth checked again. Matusow bet 105,000, and Hellmuth took some time. He placed a hand on his cheek, shook his head and looked at his cards. After a couple of minutes, he removed his sunglasses and said, "I'm thinking of making one of the worst laydowns of my life here."

After a couple minutes more, Hellmuth raised all in. Matusow was now left with a decision as Hellmuth shouted with excitement, "Yes! You didn't snap call!"

After some time, Matusow called with the
8d.gif4d.gif
for a flush draw. Hellmuth held top pair with the

. On the river, Hellmuth needed to dodge a diamond to win the hand and double up or it would be all over.

The dealer burned one last time, then dealt the

on the river, delivering Matusow the flush and awarding him the tournament.

"You gotta go for it, baby! I told you it was my time!" exclaimed Matusow after winning the hand. Hellmuth took home $300,000 for his runner-up finish while Matusow earned the title and $750,000.

Daniel what are your thoughts on the HU match?

 

I think it will be great for TV, I do not approve about there table manners or exhibitionism however I do respect the calibre of there game.

 

Right now I am furious with some of the young gun remarks on twitter. Yes they are both loud and have awful table manners but respect still goes to there game. When they both rank with over 5 mill in winnings each. People like @Bond_18 @olivierbusquet need to learn how to respect other players especially when they have not reached near the amount in all time winnings. TV is different and I have seen the commentating of both Tony and Olivier and I will take the old timers like Mike Sexton, Magicman and a few others as they always show respect.

 

sorry about the ranting but it surprises me at the kid like attitudes.
