Razz: It's Always Fun

Nível 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Player 2 bet 75 and was all in on fourth street. Glaser and Player 3 called, and O'Dell completed the bet. Both Glaser and Player 3 called. On fifth, the bricks continued, with O'Dell hitting a queen and Glaser and Player 3 both hitting a king. O'Dell bet, and Glaser was the lone caller.

On sixth, O'Dell bricked again with a queen, and Glaser hit a seven. Glaser bet, and O'Dell called. On seventh, both players checked, and Glaser took the side pot with in his hand, making a jack-low that O'Dell couldn't beat. Player 2 won the main pot with a nine-low.

On the next hand, O'Dell started with a two against Alex Luneau's nine. Fourth street brought another queen for O'Dell, while Luneau hit a four. O'Dell called one bet. Fifth street was equally unkind to O'Dell, who hit another face card, this time a king. He tossed his up-cards into the muck, visibly frustrated, and Luneau won the hand.

Mike Matusow Punishing Himself

Nível 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Mike Matusow just busted from the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event and headed over to the other side of the Amazon Room to hop into the $1,500 Razz field.

"I had a classic 2005 Mike Matusow blowup," he said.

He explained the details of the hand that sent him to the rail. He called a check-raise and a river bet against an opponent with three nines.

"So now, I can either go home to my girl, who's going to be mad at me, or I can play razz and torture myself."

After a minute, tablemate Mike Ross started singing to the tune of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel. "Aaaaand Matusow blew up in the $3k," Ross sang.

Matusow joined in with his arms outstretched: "Anybody that choose to play this game, doesn't like their life."

Matusow currently has just under 10,000 chips.

"Low card, paint, paint," the player chanted again. This time he received a low card again, but also a pair. The second player decided to lead out this time and, both players called.

On sixth street, Turner made a confused face. He looked around the table. "Oh," he said. "I have the betting lead?"

He did, and for a while it almost looked as if he was going to put chips into the pot. He opted to check, though, then fold to a bet from Player 1. The second player in the hand called the bet, then another bet on seventh. Player 1 showed for a sixty-four low, and he took down the pot. Turner saw the hand and nodded, and his face turned from confusion to understanding.

"That's about the best hand you can turn up there," he said.
