Mike Matusow played heads up against Sirens in a $300/$600 Limit Omaha H/L game. I was able to watch from the beginning and both players started with $12k.

Mike Matusow did quite well in the game including a hand where they both called the big blind pre-flop. After the flop Matusow bet $300 which was called by sirens. On the turn Matusow checked and this time sirens bet $600 and Matusow then re-raised to $1,200 which Sirens called. Matusow bet $600 on the river which was called by Sirens. On the showdown Matusow showed an Ace high straight taking down the pot worth $4,779.50.

A few hands later was another top hand where after the hole cards Sirens raised to $600 which Matusow called. On the flop Matusow bet $300 and was called. The turn Matusow bet $600 and was then quickly raised to $1200 which he called. On the river Matusow $600 bet one more time and was called by Sirens. The river came and Matusow showed another straight but this time a king high straight and won the pot worth $5,399.50.

After about 50 hands Matusow had doubled his stack while Sirens added on to give himself an additional $12k to play with.

One of the bigger hands at the table was between Mike Matusow and EazyPeazy. They were both betting the whole way with a bet from one and a raise from the other. They were betting $4k on turn and river. When they both showed their cards they must have been dissapointed to learn that they were holding the same hand. They both had a five high straight with A2 in their hands and [Kh 3d 5d 8s 4s] on the board.

After about 20 hands Mike Matusow started sitting out and EazyPeazy and Stevebets duked it out at the table. They had a lot of $15k+ hands between them and made the heads up battle a good one. One of the hands saw bets from both sides with stevebets leading the charge. In the end Stevebets lost the hand with a smaller two pair.

The largest hand I saw played at the table was between Mike Matusow and TorontoToro. Mike Matusow was betting and getting re-raised by TorontoToro through out the hand. Finally the last bet Mike Matusow checked and TorontoToro bet $600.

Allen Cunningham at some points sat out and would watch a couple hands then would sit back down at the table. There weren’t any large hands but lots of $3k+ hands. I would have thought there would be bigger hands but it always seems like the Mike Matusow tables are never that active in terms of number of high stakes hands.

After watching for about 75 hands the table broke up after Mike Matusow and Allen Cunningham played two heads up hands. They left with:

Mike Matusow ($28,390)
AllenCunningham ($12,744)

There were a couple good hands that I watched. One of them was between CHUFTY and Gus Hansen. Gus Hansen was betting $2k and was being called by CHUFTY every step of the way. After 7th street Gus Hansen showed three of a kind jacks and CHUFTY mucked his cards and Hansen raked in the pot worth $22,20.

Most of the hands that were played were in the teens.

They played at the Pineview table which is a 9 seat table but theren’t weren’t many high stakes players on tonight so it was only the 4. Though a little later in the game HoSS_TBF joined the table with $20k.

The table had a lot of $10k+ hands. Nothing really over that though but there was enough action at the table that made it interesting. I looked at a couple hand histories and after about 100 hands their isn’t much to talk about. I put some of the hands in the Top hands … but nothing really jumped at me to really breakdown and discuss.

Mike Matusow started to sit out and I decided to stop watching the table after about 100+ hands. When I left the chip counts were:

There were a bunch of $20k+ plus hands and it was a pretty good high stakes HORSE game. One of the larger hands that was played was a hand between Benyamine and Markus Golser. David Benyamine ended up winning the $28,997 pot with three of a kind 2’s against a mucked Markus Golser hand.

Another large hand that Benyamine won was a hand with Matusow and Golser. Both of them lost with Golser mucking after 3rd street and Matusow 7th street. Benyamine raked the large pot worth $32,300.
