Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow
Born in Los Angeles, CA, but currently residing in Henderson Nevada, Mike Matusow lays claim to two WSOP bracelets. The 40-year-old has 21 WSOP cashes and dozens of other notable finishes. With earnings totaling just over $6 million in his career, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow is a generally feared opponent in any game he sits in. Currently 24th on the all-time money list, Matusow has two $1 million cashes to his name. He made the final table of the 2005 WSOP main event, finishing in 9th place, then a few months later, bested 35 of the game’s greatest at the Tournament of Champions. This will be Mike’s first cash of this year’s WSOP. Despite a history of well-documented personal issues, Matusow has been working hard to transform himself. He recently lost 60 pounds in a prop bet with Ted Forrest, and is effectively controlling what he calls his patented “blow-ups.” In seat 2, Matusow starts this final table with 520,000 chips.
