Mike "The Mouth" Matusow limped from the cutoff seat, Christian Kruel completed in the small blind and Nick Schulman checked in the big blind. The three players took the limped flop of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

and action checked around.

The turn card was the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and everyone checked again. The river card was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and Kruel bet 4,000. Schulman called and Matusow folded, but not without showing his hand to the player next to him and giving a little speech.

Kruel tabled {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and won the pot to move to 65,000 chips.

"Thanks for the torture, Mike," said Schulman as he had to wait to see the showdown after having called and enduring Matusow's little show.
