Yeah, you tell them Matusow.

Mike Matusow limps on the button, and Tex Barch follows him in. The flop comes Qh-Jc-2c. Tex checks, and Matusow bets out $36,000 in chips. Tex calls. The turn is the 5h. Tex checks again, and Matusow makes it $100,000 to go. Tex calls again. The river is the Kh. Tex checks again, and Matusow goes into the tank. He comes up firing, making a $250,000 bet. Now it's Tex's turn to go in the tank. Eventually he calls, and Matusow shows 8h-6h for the flush. Tex mucks his hand. Matusow now has $3,130,000. Tex has $1,530,000.

Matusow did an interview about that hand. He picked up an embarassingly obvious (to Mike anyways) physical tell on Tex. He saw the tell on every street of this hand from Tex. So Mike essentially slow-played a hammer on Tex's bluffing ass. He probably woulda played it the same without the OESD I imagine.
