My money is on the Action Man to win. He may be the best no limit tournament player around!

What does it mean when someone "(erroneously) has the button"??

Minh Ly is really showing that if he decides to play a lot of tourneys he could be a powerhouse.

Go Action Dan!!

Was he the one yelling at Matusow at this year's World Series when Matusow was giving the interview to cardplayer?

Yup.
Mike put him on tilt and pretty much led to him busting out of the ME on the second to last day.
The story goes that Mike was making fun of Minh saying he can't speak English, and then when Minh was involved in a hand with another player and about to bust him Mike, who had already folded, basically told the player he was a Donkey is he paid off Minh this hand. Which cost Minh chips obviously and was a pretty dick move IMO.
Minh described the whole thing on Cardplayer's final table real audio broadcast, you can check it out, but it's not always easy to understand what he's saying.

Huge hand , Harrington goes from being almost eliminated to chip leader:

Date / Time: 2005-10-22 00:31:00
Title: Dan Harrington Doubles Through Minh Ly
Log: Hand 122 - Minh Ly has the button in seat 2, he raises to $600,000, Harrington reraises all in for $1,620,000, and Ly calls with pocket nines (9d-9s). Harrington shows Kh-Jc, and it's a race situation.

The flop comes 7h-5s-3h, and Ly is still in the lead with his pocket pair. The turn card is the Ks, and Harrington takes the lead with a pair of kings. Now Ly needs to catch a nine to eliminate Harrington. The river card is the As, and Dan Harrington doubles up to about $3.5 million in chips.
