That last point's really important. These people might get air time, but pay attention to the way they're presented. It would be a LOT different if you had guys like Ivey or Ferguson fist-pumping and shouting and [censored].

Except that this year Mike Matusow makes it all the way to the final-table. And I'm sure there are a numbe of shaky-jittery-fist-pumped "I'm so great's" in there along the way.

I don't know this though.
All I know is that it's Matusow...and he makes it to the final-table...so I'm just guessing as to what kind of behavior he will exhibit on his way there.

Yeah but ESPN is under no obligation to spin Mike Matusow as a great player, even though he makes the final table, and I don't think they will. And I suspect that his abrasiveness factors into that decision, but I could be wrong.
