The Mike Matusow ShowJan 12, '10
Both players checked to the turn, which was the 4 Matusow tanked for a solid five minutes, cluing in everyone around that he held pocket kings. “I can’t remember the last time I stacked off all my chips like this,” he said. “Would you really check the flop and turn with all those diamonds, flush draw and straight draws out there? It makes no sense. I really have no f@#$%ing clue, no f@#$%ing clue.” After a dozen more f-bombs, Matusow talked himself into a fold, giving Minieri the pot and 210,000 in chips. Immediately following the hand, Matusow was moved to another table, where he immediately began telling his story to all who would listen.

Brenes counted out the call and realized that he’d still have 45,000 or so left if he were to lose. He stood up again, saying several times that his decision was a close one, but the table wasn’t really buying it. A few hands earlier, Isaac Baron had commented that Brenes was taking an exaggerated amount of time with even the simplest of decisions. William Reynolds then asked the floor if he was allowed to get up and walk around while making a decision. Minieri, confident that he was witnessing an acting job, pulled out a $5 bill, stating that he bet Brenes would fold. Then, when Brenes didn’t respond, Minieri pulled out five more $1 bills and doubled his bet. Apparently that triggered something and Brenes announced call, revealing 9 The board fell Q Player Tags: Alex Brenes, Dario Minieri Baron DoublesJan 13, '10 Issac Baron got the rest of his short stack all in preflop holding pocket deuces against Dario Minieri’s pocket eights.
