Event 18 - Matusow Takes It!
1 year ago
After hours upon hours of grueling final table play, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow has defeated Jeffrey Lisandro heads-up to take down the $5,000 No Limit 2-7 Triple Draw w/Rebuys tournament and clinch his third WSOP bracelet!
On the climactic hand, Matusow open-shoved all-in and Lisandro made the call for his tournament life. Lisandro drew one card and after some serious thought, Matusow decided to stand pat.
The Mouth turned up a Q-8-7-4-3 low and Lisandro showed 9-6-5-3-x as he squeezed his last card. It came a queen, giving him a Q-9 low and thus clinching the tournament for Matusow!
For the victory, the Full Tilt Poker pro takes $537,857 while Lisandro earns $347,004. Stay tuned for a full recap and interview with the winner!

Event 18 - The Mouth versus The Iceman!
1 year ago
It's been a back and forth battle in the rac for the deuce to seven bracelet but so far it's the mouth who is on top.
He has pegged back the lead from Lisandro, turning thins round in imperious fashion. Mike's supporters on the rail are drunk, enthusiastic and vocal, a combination which is leading to some ear-bursting whooping and hollering from the crowd.
Mike actually had Lisandro allin once, calling his shove after they both drew, Mike showing T-8-7, Lisandro T-8-5 which was good!
"I didn't want to make my hand" Mike told the crowd.
It was almost over that hand but Lisandro's hand was just a smidgen better, so he survived. Lisandro has changed his hat in an effort to stop the rot.
Mike maintains the advantage for now, but the battle continues...
