Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow was first to act and he put in a raise to 90,000. Barry Greenstein folded his small blind but Jeffrey Lisandro called from the big blind. Both men drew just one card and Lisandro was first to act.

Lisandro bet 140,000 and Matusow made the call. Lisandro was shy to table his hand which turned Mike Matusow into Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. "Whatchya got Jeff?....Jeff....Jeff?" he said as he waited for Lisandro's called hand to be tabled first.

Despite being clearly beaten, Lisandro flipped up his hand anyway and showed a straight. Matusow ribbed him. "A straight!" he laughed, "You've got a straight!" as he turned over his own {10-?} {9-?} {8-?} {7-?} {3-?}.

Matusow looked around at the crowd searching for some sort of recognition for his efforts. Lisandro mucked his hand and Matusow stacked the pot. As he did so, he bursted into song. "It’s never fun...when the rabbit’s got the gun," sang Mike. The crowd here seemed mildly entertained.
