Mike Matusow Plays HORSE
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Mike Matusow ($40,326) played $1000/$2000 HORSE against Markus Golser ($112,759.50), David Benyamine ($37,059.80) and howisitfeellike ($37,755.50), the game was played at the “Hatteras” table . Later in the game howisitfeellike and confused 1 here sat down and played.
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.
The game soon broke up and the chip count was:
- Mike Matusow ($29,024.50), is sitting out
- Confused 1 Here ($54,484), is sitting out
- Markus Golser ($87,554), is sitting out
- David Benyamine ($82,682.80)
- howisitfeellike ($44,098.50)


When I sat down to watch the game Mike Matusow had about 17k. I then left for about two hours and when I got back his stack was $29k. I don’t have any hand histories for a lot of the hands…. only for the past 50 where Matusow already had $27k. There wasn’t much action in the last 50 hands and really not much to talk about.
