The Mouth Returns

[user22113]
[user22113]
Mike Matusow has returned from a 2-hour break at home and got to work right away, scooping a big pot with a straight and 6-high low hand.

At showdown, he held his holecards high up in the air for everyone to see while ragging on the rest of his table, telling them that they're so bad, he's ready to go home and take another 2-hour jacuzzi break . . . all in good fun, of course. It's Mike.

After posting a 36th place finish in the $5,000 NL Hold'em event, cashing for $17,172, Mike jumped right into the 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Split event.

Mike won his gold bracelet in the 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo event in 1989 and is regarded as one of the top split players in the world today.

There's a player in the field today considered by many of his peers to be one of the best hi-lo split players on the planet, and that's both tournaments and cash games.

Amazingly, he was actually fired by President Ronald Reagan the year that all air traffic controllers refused to report to work while bargaining for better benefits.

The president sent 6-7,000 National Guard servicemen to airports around the country to replace them; thus the poker birth of "Miami" John Cernuto.

Cernuto packed his bags and headed to Vegas after he lost his job. He worked as a dealer for one year, but quickly found success as a player and has never looked back.

He's won three WSOP bracelets so far and has President Reagan to thank for altering his life's path.

Happy Hour on Table 32

John Phan has started a party on table 32; he has three Heinekens in front of him, next to a cup of ice.

He's also managed to get Kirk Morrison and Jeff Madsen to join him; they're all drinking beers to help get them through the slow early stages of the tournament.
