Tieman tabled for a queen-high straight, and his opponent mucked.
Sebastian Bastian, who finished twelfth in Event 34: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha - Six-Handed, is in the field today, and sporting the same red, feathery hat he wore during his deep run. Moments ago, Mike Matusow and Noah Schwartz offered to buy his hat, but Bastian refused, citing that it helps his poker face.
"Come on," Matusow bargained. "I've got a [UNLV] Rebels hat, and Noah has...what kind of hat is that?"
"Gucci," Schwartz answered.
"Gucci," Matusow echoed. "A rebels hat and a Gucci hat."
Bastian still refused, but he allowed Matusow to try it on.
"This has to be me," Matusow announced. "I feel good."
"I guarantee your cards will change too," Schwartz added.
Bastian asked for a percentage of Matusow's winning while wearing the hat, but Matusow let him down, folding the only hand he played wearing it.
When we reached the table, Chris DeMaci, Cary Katz, and a third player were all in preflop.
