It's 50-50, Either I Win or I Lose

Alexander Kuzmin opened with a bit-more-than-minimum raise to 10,500 from early position, then Kirill Rabtsov reraised to 30,000. Mike Matusow then reraised it to 85,000, forcing folds back around to Kuzmin who also got out. Rabtsov called with his remaining chips.

Rabtsov showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Matusow {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. "It's a coin flip," cracked Matusow.

Then came the flop -- {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Suddenly Matusow had gone from way behind to way ahead. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the river the {K-Hearts}, and Rabtsov was eliminated.

Matusow now has 340,000.
