Mouth, Say 'AAh'

Mike Matusow just won a tidy pot from Alan Ellis holding the {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} , but it took quite a while to pan out that way...

On the turn, with the board {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} Ellis checked and Matusow bet 3,600. There followed the longest dwell of the day, if not the Series, as Ellis contemplated (he had about 18,000 at this point). He sat still apart from his hands, which did that not-quite-a-trick where you just pick up and drop the first few chips of a stack over and over again. Eventually he made the call.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and a bet of 6,500 when Ellis checked to Matusow once more. This time he called with unexpected alacrity, only to instantly muck when he caught a glimpse of the Mouth's aces.
