Mike Matusow ($6,294.50) played $200/$400 Limit Omaha H/L against Boosted J ($7,964.50), Magic Aces ($7,773), Gholp ($28,301), Glazed ($8,913.50) and Qrippoli ($3,092). They were playing at the poker table “Mescal” a 6 max table at Full Tilt Poker.

I haven’t seen Mike Matusow for a little bit so it was nice to see him at the tables. After watching 17 hands, Mike Matusow played in nearly half of them and did not end up winning any of them. Mike Matusow started to sit out with $594.50, maybe he realized at this point he is just giving money away…

Well after sitting for awhile Mike Matusow left the table….Mid-way through the game Stuart Peterson sat down and played for a bit. When I left the chip totals were:

• Stuart Paterson ($8,000)
• Magic Aces ($3,713)
• Gholp ($34,074)
• Glazed ($10,792.50)
• Qrippoli ($3,380)

The $1000/$2000 Limit Omaha H/L game was busy tonight with Qrippoli,($51,156) Daduv4 ($94,906.50) and CryMeARiver8 ($32,994.50) playing.

When I started watching CryMeARiver8 took a nose dive going from $33k down to $9k and then over 10 hands he built his stack back up to $20k. It didn’t last long though…The next hand he loses an $18k pot to Daduv4 who won with a 3 of a kind queens. Then the very next hand he loses a pot to Qrippoli this time it was a $20.5k pot, folding on the river with $8k already invested in the hand. CryMeARiver8 then left the game after suffering huge loses and with only $2k.

After CryMeARiver8 left the action slowed down a lot and in 15 hands only one hand was over $10k. It was a folding fest with one player raising and the other folding. I stopped watching at this point so something may have gone down but I wasn’t there to report on it.

A huge hand between Mike Matusow and Qrippoli was played in the game. David Benyamine started with a $2k raise, then Mike Matusow re-raised to $3000. Qrippoli then called and the flop came down [Js 7d Kh]….(Benyamine folded after flop) Fast forward to the end of the hand with a board showing [Js 7d Kh Ac] [9s] and where Qrippoli showed [Kd 9h Kc 6d] and had three of a kind kings. While Mike Matusow held [2d Ks Tc As] and had two pair, aces and kings. The total pot was won by Qrippoli and raked in $20,998!

Another hand a few hands later had Matusow against Gus Hansen and Qrippoli. Mike Matusow was betting every chance he could get until the river. This is when Gus Hansen bet and Mike just called while Qrippoli folded. The board was [Qc 6h Ts 2c] [Th] and Gus Hansen showed [Td 5c 3d 5h] and had three tens, Mike mucked the hand. Gus Hansen then raked in $21,999.
