Mike Matusow was just overheard trying to get under the skin of Omaha Ed Tonnellier, saying, "I can't believe you have 'Omaha Ed' on your shirt and still play this bad. I think I just puked."

Ed's response was simply, "It's cause I'm from Omaha . . . Omaha, Canada."

Mike fired back, "It couldn't have anything to do with this game we're playing."
