Matusow loses it

[Dominic]

As some of you know, I'm producing segments for The Players Network at the WSOP. I've had Mike Matusow do a few funny segments about how he's been screwed time and time again at this year's WSOP. Funny stuff. Great guy in every way. Seriously.

Anyway, today is the third day of the first day of the main event - I catch Mike before he goes in and film a short "I'm focused" segment.

Not twenty minutes later, Mike comes storming out. I'm thinking, "oh no, not again."

He comes up to me, livid.

"Dominic, I've just been given a forty minute penalty!"

He explains:

"I muck a hand a little too vigorously and the cards hit the dealer. 'Floorman, Floorman' the dealer yells. He accuses me of hitting him with the cards! I tell the Floor I didn't, that it was an accident, and the other players back me up. The Floor says, fine, no penalty, and walks off.

"I turn to the guy next to me and whisper, 'This dealer has fu*king issues.'

Immediately, the dealer's hand shoots up in the air - 'Floorman, Floorman - he used the F-bomb!'

The Floor comes over and gives me a 10 minute penalty! I say bullshit, I didn't say a thing!'

'The Dealer said you did.'

'FU*K the dealer,' I yell.

'Twenty minute penalty!'

'FU*K YOU TOO!'

'Thirty minute penalty!'

'FU*K THIS PLACE!'

'Forty minute penalty!'

"I was so pissed, I had to come out here and calm down. I've never blown up like that at a table."

Mike...we love you...and the dealer is an ass. My only regret is I didn't have a camera crew in the vicinity!
