Everybody Needs Good Neighbors

Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow has been sat next to Alexander Kravchenko. So different is their demeanor at the table that I half expect them to repel each other like two magnetic Norths. But in fact, after talking to Daniel Negreanu (sat two tables up) for about 10 minutes, Matusow sort of double-took and said Hi to his silent neighbor.

"I didn't see you there," he said, shaking Kravchenko's hand warmly. Kravchenko cracked the smallest of smiles, but was not forthcoming further. "You know, with the sunglasses," he gamely continued (for anyone not familiar with the successful Russian player, he currently sports mirrored aviator shades reminiscent of the bad cop from Terminator II).

"..." said Kravchenko.

Matusow did his best to entice the recalcitrant player into conversation, talking about some of Kravchenko's previous tournament hands, but no dice. Usually players can't seem to help themselves chatting back, but not this cool customer.
