Runnin' His Mouth

donpeters

After that last hand, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow chimed in by asking if Abe Mosseri made his seven low on the end. Mosseri told Matusow that he had it already, but Matusow didn't seem to believe him from the way he was acting.

Matusow then went on to say, "I don't cash, I just show up to be around all of this. You know you've hit rock bottom when you haven't even cashed yet and Abe Mosseri is at the final table."
