I'm sure I'll get some heat for this but I don't think I've seen Matusow play well in any televised poker event. At the Sands he played poorly but got lucky quads 55 against KK. Some of the regulars in the High stakes seem much better than him and he seems to blow up/gamble against a bigger stack too often.

Of all the players I saw I think the winner just let other players pick each other apart, move up in pay, played solid cards most all the time, and make a good value bet against Negreanu. I didn't watch the whole thing but I didn't see him make any real mistake. I know a guy like that doesn't garner a lot a respect because he didn't pull any hall of fame bluffs but I think his final table was the best I've seen yet.
