Matuson Channels Her Inner Kassouf

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Stacy Matuson hasn't cashed live since last year's infamous WSOP Main Event, where the hand that made William Kassouf the overnight fame-bomb of poker defined her Main Event. She may have folded to Kassouf's "Nine high like a boss", but Matuson then got pretty unlucky to bust soon after and the pair never got the chance to renew acquaintances at that tournament.

Fast-forward 10 months and both players are here on Day 1c of the 888Live Main Event in Barcelona, patched up as they are for 888Poker. Matuson had started steadily in this hand, but by the end of it, she'd talked as much as her pal 'Willy K' from that infamous hand.

The hand Matuson just took part in didn't involve Kassouf, but she kicked off the action by opening to 675 chips from early position. Called in two places, the flop of saw Kaspar Druml bet 3,500 from the small blind. Matuson alone called.

The turn of saw a bet of 10,050 from Druml called by Matuson, but on the river of , Druml moved all-in for 33,000 chips. Matuson only had 20,000 to her name and a massive decision on her hands.

"I don't know how I can fold this." she exalted. "You raised me pre. I need some time, are you guys all right with this?"

The rest of table gave polite nods.

"This could be your big bluff." Matsuon continued.

"You think I'm bluffing. Really?" asked Druml.

"Three sixes? You weren't afraid of the river. Aces is no good, you know that, right? I know you don't have the set."

All right, so she didn't mention monkey nuts or macadamia nuts, but the spirit was there.

Eventually, Matuson called and showed , better than Druml's and good enough for a 76,000-chip pot.

"Woo! Ship it!" Matuson yelled. "I'm fearless, baby. I've done very well in tournaments, look me up."

Mizrachi, Antonius and Kawauti Eliminated

[user38873]

Nível 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Patrik Antonius also played, but didn't last very long. Other players in action include Sally Stephens and Mladen Ivanov.

Scott Busts With a Flush Draw

Nível 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kara Scott has departed from the 888Live Barcelona Main Event here on Day 1c, with all the chips going in on the flop when it came and Scott went all-in with and she was up against pocket queens.

Sadly for Kara Scott (and her many fans on Twitter) she missed a world of outs on turn and river and was out of the door.

Whoops! Looks like I'm beach-bound. Got all in with nut flush draw against overpair and did not hit. GL to those still in #888liveBarcelona
