The Mouth's Loss

Mike "The Mouth" Matusow and Ted Forrest became involved in a series of bickerings last year, the result of which being a prop bet that involved Matusow losing a significant amount of weight.

The wager? Mike needed to go from 241 pounds to under 181 pounds within a certain amount of time. If he could do it, he would net $100,000. For four days during the bet Mike was on a lemonade and cayenne pepper diet.

Mike is here playing in today's event and is a very sleek 179 pounds, two pounds under the prop bet goal. Mike appears to be playing well, looks to be in great shape, and as always, is talking quite a bit.
