Matusow Walks the Talk
Mike Matusow:

Mikko Hirvonen: / 
/
Brian Hastings: / 
(folds on fifth)
Mike Matusow limped in along with Mikko Hirvonen and then they both called when Brian Hastings completed. On fourth, the action checked to Hirvonen who tossed in a bet and was called by both players.
Matusow was the first to bet on fifth, only to have Hirvonen raise and Hastings quickly mucked his cards. Matusow thought for a moment and then called. On sixth, Matusow led out again with four cards to a straight flush on his board. Hirvonen called and on seventh, Matusow pretended it was the first time he noticed how strong his hand looked.
"Oh, I have six, seven, eight, nine of diamonds. Almost a straight flush."
Matusow then proceeded to toss in a bet and sat with his tongue out in anticipation of what Hirvonen was going to do. Hirvonen just called and Matusow revealed 
for a flush and an eight-low. Hirvonen looked back at his cards and then sent them all to the muck, sending the entire pot to Matusow.
