The guy kept trying to bluff Raymer and rivered a straight (or flush) to suck out and eliminate Raymer. The interviewer tried to defend the guy, and Matusow said "How about folding when you don't flop a pair of a draw?" I'm not sure I totally agree with his analysis, maybe I do, but I think it's good that he speaks that way about the game. He clearly thinks the amateurs are taking over the game, and that it isn't a good thing. Understandable for a pro.

He also commented that Ivey shouldn't have been playing huge pots at that stage, a comment that I'm sure Ivey wouldn't appreciate, but...

I still don't know if I want Matusow to win it or not. Guys like him, Arieh, and Hellmuth, act like children sometimes, but it's good that they can leave that at the table too.

I dont suppose that would be the same Matusow that was calling Phill Ivey his idol a few days ago?!

Cant wait for the coverage on TV, though I doubt we will get it here in UK for about another 6 months.

Who knocked Raymer out?
