Razz Hand at $50,000 HORSE - Matusow vs. Tomko

[kerze]

$20,000k/$40,000k limit $5,000 bring in (antes presumably $5,000 as well because after Matusow calls the bring in there is $50,000 in the pot minus the two bring ins gives $40,000/8 = $5,000)

Espn doesn't bother to show the upcards on 3rd of the bring-in or the folders

Matusow starts with (A5)8 and calls the bring in
Tomko completes (64)3
Pescatori calls with (A7)5
Matusow calls

On 4th
Matusow has (a5)82
Tomko has (64)38
Pescatori has (a7)57

Pescatori checks
Matusow bets $20,000
Tomko calls
Pecatori folds

On 5th
Matusow has (A5)82A
Tomko has (64)389

Matusow bets $40,000
Dewey says that "I haven't seen any aces out Mike" and calls

6th street:
Matusow (A5)82AJ
Tomko (64)3893

Matusow checks
Dewey thinks and then Negreanu makes a comment abou the amount of time Dewey is taking and then Dewey says you can see why I'm taking so much time - i'm pretty sure he has a pair of aces and i'm trying to decide whether to bet or not and then checks (at this point Dewey didn't have a lot of money behind)

Matusow Rivers a T for a T low and Tomko doesn't need to improve from his 9 low and pairs his 3.

It goes check/check and Dewey wins.

Mike thens says By the Way, there were two aces on the board but I still caught the other two. Tomko says I just felt that you had an ace; how can you start with an eight if you don't have an ace in your hand.


Matusow says there were 2 aces on the board besides his - well considering that Pescatori had one in his down cards (that we saw when he looked at them). He seems sincere saying this.

Tomko says how can you with an 8 and no ace. Couldn't Mike have 23 or 24 and call. Of course then Mike would have paired 4th and not bet. So the only wheel hand Mike could have without pairing was 34.
