		Matloubi studied for a while before he called the $250,000 and reraised all-in for another $378,000.
		Even though he probably thought he was beat when Matloubi moved all-in, Lund had invested a lot of chips on the hand and that made it hard to fold.
		But the slight possibility that Matloubi was bluffing or had a worse hand, the size of the pot and the fact that Lund might have 5 outs to outdraw, made him call.

	Stu ’the Kid’ Ungar - Mansou Matloubi - Queens Poker Classic -no limit Hold ’Em
		Playing against fellow Main Event winner Mansour Matloubi at the final table of the 1991 4 Queens Poker Classic, Stuey bet $6K on a flop of 337, which Matloubi called despite holding 45o.
		After both players checked a turned King, Matloubi sensed weakness in Ungar and bet his last $32k when a queen hit the river.
		It was an incredibly aggressive bet, maybe too much so: With the pot as small as it was, Ungar saw this for what it was; a transparant attempt to compensate for a poor call on the flop.

		Anyway, people were very impressed with Matloubi's play and started referring to him as the "new Stuey." When Ungar was healthy enough, he challenged Matloubi to a huge stakes heads up freeze-out.
		This is the legendary match where Matloubi moved in on the river with nothing but a busted low straight draw, and Ungar called him with 10-high to win.
		Stuey had his number, yes, but that move should also give you a sense of Matloubi's talent and fearlessness, reading Ungar as very weak (which he was) and putting all his chips in the middle with something like 7-high.
