Crazy Double-Up for Thorpe

Livello 19 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Mike Thorpe: 7♣2♠/2♣9♣5♦3♠/6♣
Mike Matusow: 4♥3♣/A♠10♦K♣6♠/9♠

The action was caught on fourth street where Mike Matusow bet and self-proclaimed "Crazy" Mike Thorpe made the call. The same actions occured on fifth street before the two players got their money in on sixth.

Thorpe had a pair of deuces and a low draw, while Matusow had a bunch of overcards and a low draw of his own. However, Matusow would flip over a nine for the ultimate brick, while Thorpe revealed a six for a low. His pair of deuces remained good enough for the high and he scored another full double-up.
