Matusow Gets the Schafft

Kevin Schaffel raised preflop, and Mike Matusow three-bet to 4,100. Schaffel called, and they went heads up to a {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop. Schaffel checked, and Matusow checked behind. After the {5-Clubs} on the turn, Kevin bet 6,000, and Matusow made the call. Schaffel made another big bet - 15,000 - after the river fell the {4-Spades}. Matusow took a solid four minutes to slide the calling chips across the line. When he did, Schaffel tabled {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a rivered two pair. Matusow was livid that Schaffel had rivered him, but there was nothing he could do but splutter. Schaffel is up to 88,000 while the Mouth fell to 38,000.
