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."

Controversy at "The Master's" Table

[user38449]

It took the floormen a solid 5 minutes to sort out an issue at Men "The Master"'s table, in which Men claimed he was tabling his cards, while the rest of the table insisted he'd mucked them.

Men claimed he'd turned over Q-Q-8-3, for a Queen high straight, while the rest of the table said they only saw him flip over the queens.

The floor eventually laid the decision in the hands of the dealer, who sided with the rest of the players at the table, and Men's hand was mucked.
