The younger players were discussing their ages as a new hand started. Justin Smith said he was 23 as he folded and Tom Dwan raised. Next to act, Andrew Feldman reraised to $7,400. "I'm 23 too," he said while Dwan pondered a call. "What? You have two-three?" durrrr said. "I can beat two-three," and he tossed the extra chips into the pot. "So can I," Feldman added.
Flop: - Dwan check-called $8,400.
Turn: - Dwan checked, and this time, Feldman checked behind.
River: - Dwan checked again. Feldman bet $23,000 and once Dwan called, Andrew was happy to show for the nuts.
Justin Smith raised a straddled pot, and from late position, Andrew Feldman three-bet to $13,600. Smith made a very deliberate call. Boosted J checked the flop, and Feldman checked behind. The turn fell the , and this time, Smith bet out $17,000. Feldman folded with a shrug.
Patrik Antonius just asked Mike Matusow what he had in the hand where the Mouth had thought PA checked. Antonius hadn't and bet $3,000 on the river. Matusow said he had nothing and had just called to see what Antonius had.
"I wouldn't have called anything, except that I was aggravated. I was sure you'd gone like this (makes checking motion.)"
A minute later, Matusow added, "I guarantee you, if I'd called $10,000, you wouldn't have had the best hand."
"Free lessons from Mike Matusow," Tom Dwan said. "It's almost like going to Deep Stack University." Matusow grumbled. "Come on, I can needle you a bit. You're up like 90k," Dwan responded.
Patrik Antonius and Mike Matusow were heads up in a small pot on a board reading . Antonius was shuffling his chips as usual, but Matusow thought he'd checked and checked behind. Antonius said he had yet to act, and the rest of the table agreed that he'd just been riffling. "But I don't want to take advantage either. I know, I know..."
"You don't know anything," chimed in David Benyamine. "Sometimes he checks back three nines there."
Finally Antonius decided to bet $3,000. Matusow called and mucked when Patrik showed for a pair of nines.
Could somebody feed Patrik Antonius please? He might look like he's made of granite sometimes, but the man needs to eat. His wife Maya was here earlier but said she'd already eaten, so he decided to eat during the game. He's called for a room menu several times but is still waiting to order.
There has recently been some discussion about wearing sunglasses in cash games. Tom Dwan is vocally against it, and many other pros have taken positions on either side of the debate. No one wore sunglasses yesterday, and David Oppenheim is the only player wearing them today. He got a little needling at the beginning of the session but didn't engage.
Mike Matusow is on a role. The flop fell , and there was a bet and a call. The turn card was made for television - the . Erik Cajelais moved all in, and Matusow called.
Cajelais: for a jack-high straight
Matusow: for a king-high straight
The river was irrelevant. Matusow quietly (yes, we know) raked in the $205,000 pot, and Cajelais is quickly down a buy-in.
"What a cooler," said one player. "Yeah, luckily I got away from it," deadpanned Erik.
The players are currently discussing prop bets for the session. They agreed to pick suits of cards and three cards each but ran into a sticking point when Patrik Antonius insisted on playing for $50,000 a pop. David Oppenheim wanted to play for $10,000, but Antonius said that wasn't enough to bother diverting his energy from the game.
Antonius was the big winner yesterday. He kept changing his suits and finished the night up $275,000 in props.
