Even if Mike Matusow wasn't seated at the feature table today, it wouldn't be difficult to find him. Matusow and three others saw a flop of {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and two players checked to the player in the cutoff, who bet 700. Matusow called on the button, the small blind came along and the big blind folded. On the {Q-Hearts} turn, action was checked over to Matusow, who fired 2,500. Only the small blind called, and the {9-Hearts} landed on the river. Both players checked, and "The Mouth" tabled {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the winner.

"Some people wait for the aces, I look for the queen-seven," Matusow said as he raked in the pot.

Moments later, a familiar face took a seat at the feature table. Last year, Randy Pfeifer outlasted a field of 202 players to win the $1,500 Deepstacks Poker Tour Seneca Niagara Poker Open for $62,265. He's now seated directly to Matusow's left.
