"Drink water Mike. You need to drink water." That's what Eli Elezra was saying to Mike Matusow as Matusow shouted to him from a few tables over. Matusow then stood up from his chair holding a bottle of water.

"I have water. It says, Mike Matusow, 11th place finisher," Matusow said, fanning his hand across his bottle. "I was at the worst table and we were having fun and they made me do a Fireball, whatever that is," he continued.

"Drink water Mike! Drink more water," Elezra said.

Matusow then sat at the table and was dealt a {2-Clubs} as his up card.

"How much do you need now? 50 more?" Matusow asked, fumbling with his chips. "This table is almost as bad as the old one because I have to pay 50 every hand."

Steve Albini: {x-}{x-}/{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Dan Zack: {x-}{x-}/{4-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Player 1: {x-}{x-}/{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Matusow was the bring in and the player showing the {2-Spades} completed. Albini then called and Dan Zack called as well. On fourth street Albini bet with the lead and took down the pot as everyone folded.

Matusow continued with his rambling after the hand, but the rest of his table seemed more tuned into the poker than him.
