Nobody is Having a Better Time than Matusow

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

There was some loud laughter coming from the corner of the room but it was all from the same person, Mike Matusow. Rolling around in laughter, Matusow was having the time of his life while the other seven players were either miserable, annoyed, or trying to focus on some poker.

"Have you ever laughed so hard, that you just can't stop laughing?" Matusow asked. "I don't even know why I'm laughing. I think it's because I'm in this shitty place. I don't know why I keep torturing myself."

There was also a hand taking place where three players went to a flop of 1083. The action was checked to Jonathan Depa who bet 7,000 on the button. Charles Sylvestre called from the big blind and Ruslan Nazarenko came along as well.

The turn brought the 6 and it checked to Depa again who pushed all in for 38,000. Sylvestre folded and Nazarenko's cards quickly followed into the muck.

Another laughing fit broke out from Matusow at the end of the hand. "Nobody is having a better time than me, with less chips."
