Last Longer Between Elezra and Matusow

[user68268]

Livello 3

Eli Elezra called us over to let us know some inside information on a last-longer bet he has in place with Mike Matusow. The bet is for $10,000, but if the player that lasts the longest makes the money, it's for $20,000. There is also a little more to the bet than just money, and as far as we're concerned is the best part of the bet.

Whoever loses, must shave their head. We're not talking just buzzing all your hair off either, we're talking "with a razor," as Elezra put it. This is going to be one heck of a sweat for both players and we'll keep you updated on the progress of it.

As it stands right now, Matusow has about 32,000 to Elezra's 22,000.

Some Quotes from the Mouth

[user80015]

Livello 4

"They'll never bubble me. I'll just ante myself in!"

"I forgot you're rich and have money while I'm broke!"

"You've never had it tough kid. Try grinding $40/$80 just to pay rent!"

This was just a few of the key quotes during Mike "The Mouth" Matusow's conversation to Justin "BoostedJ" Smith in relation to a few events that Smith has bubbled.

Mizrachi Moving Up

[user68268]

Livello 4

Razz

Eugene Katchalov: (X)(X) / {10-} {8-} {Q-} - fold
Opponent: (X)(X) / {7-} {2-} {7-} {K-} / (X)
Michael Mizrachi: (X)(X) / {6-} {5-} {9-} {9-} / (X)

Michael Mizrachi was betting the entire way with his opponents calling down. Eugene Katchalov folded on fifth, but the other player came along to seventh before he finally folded to Mizrachi's bet. The player showed another {2-} , which gave him two pair and that's not a good thing to have in Razz. Mizrachi won the pot without showdown and moved to 36,000 in chips.

Lots of Back and Forth Action Here

[user68268]

Omaha-8

From under the gun, John Hennigan raised. Ylon Schwartz called from the big blind and the two players took the {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop together and the fireworks began. Schwartz checked, Hennigan bet, Schwartz check-raised, Hennigan reraised, Schwartz raised again and then Hennigan capped the action. Schwartz called.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and some more fireworks went off, although a little bit milder. Schwartz checked, Hennigan bet, Schwartz check-raised and then Hennigan reraised. Schwartz called.

The river card was the {9-Diamonds} and Schwartz checked. Hennigan bet and this time Schwartz only called, opting to not check-raise. Hennigan tabled the {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} for aces full of nines and Schwartz mucked his hand.
