"The Mouth" Sounding Off

"I want the opposite of whatever Gabe Kaplan's betting on," shouted Mike Matusow, drawing a laugh from the crowd.

Mike will be taking on Australia's most popular poker pro, 2005 WSOP Champion Joe Hachem, in his Round 1 match. In honor of his opponent, Mike is sporting a bright yellow t-shirt with a kangaroo on it, while occasionally waving a miniature Australian flag and chanting, "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!"
