Matros Not Buying Saab Story

Shamus

While still trying to stack the 822,500 his started with today, Matt Matros found himself getting involved in a potentially hairy situation right off the bat with David Saab.

"For some reason, I think you have a big hand," said Matros before letting it go. He's still stacking his chips.
