It's incredible and maybe even inspirational.

It's still the case that making exceptions to the rule in a supposedly even starting ground competition is a slippery slope. I think you're allowing emotion to get in the way of good reasoning here.

Actually...the Mouth got 4 of them later on.

He kept saying 'F--- that' every time the director said "that's another 10 minutes" or something like that.
So mike had to sit-out 40 minutes.

I believe that if he had gotten one more he would have been disqualified (first 4 are 10 minutes each...the 5th means "you're gone!!").

Don't know if they showed it...but I was reading in one of the poker magazines (All-in or Bluff or one of those) that some guy from Europe got disqualified about 5 hours in because when he was switching tables he put his chips in his pocket which is a HUGE no-no (and they usually tell you not to do that).

They have rules and have to enforce them.
This year they instituted that new 10-minute f-bomb rule.

The big problem with it was that it seemed to be selectively enforced at times (some players got away with dropping f-bombs while others had to sit-out for 10 minutes).

I think the great Card Player "reporter" Richard Belsky had an interview with that guy.

Rich Belsky always asks the tough questions. He's the premier journalist in America.

he really would make an excellent journalist/interviewer if he went into covering politics/news/business.

after bombing hundreds of thousands of innocent people:
"So Mr President, I'm told you had some coffee this morning. Black, I presume?"

The F-bomb rule is stupid. Imagine what happens if they show Matusow's blowup on his day 1.

It is a stupid rule, but rule none the less. How about the old guy hitting his quads. Be great to see him try and move big stacks around with as bad as he's shaking. Yes I know he can't help it.
