Howard Lederer said "Mike Matusow has won 2.5 million over the last four months" and he obviously meant in just tournament poker... and it was obviously more like five months... but I'm curious as to where he won the other $500,000 not won in his ToC and WSOP cashings, or if Lederer was just misspeaking.

Luckily cuz of where I work, I got to see it on satellite.Really, it wasn't as entertaining as I hoped.The poker itself was fine, though definitely not as dramatic because it wasn't edited, but it was REAL poker!!!However I found the mic's weren't pumped high enough so I could barely hear any of the banter.I really wish I could have heard what Hellmuth was muttering after he got bounced.I was disappointed also that Hellmuth restrained himself and didn't strangle anyone with his scarf.Oh well, maybe next time.BTW, Phil played like crap, but I agree with him that the A5 call was pretty weak. I know the blinds were pretty accelerated, but realistically at best he's 58% to win. Not really enough, I'd say.Cheers,Mike

I agree. There was a good deal of banter, but Howard and especially Barry Tompkins talked over most of it.

Anyone else hear the F Bomb? I Tivo'd it, and started watching a little late. About 60% of the way through, when it's still 6-handed, DevilFish raises and Ferguson is contemplating what to do with the KJ of spades, and in the background there's a conversation going on and someone says, "You gotta be fucking kidding me."I rewound it and played it over a couple of times, definitely the F bomb. Not easy to hear over Howard's talking, but it's there. I guess they weren't running this on a delay at all, or just missed it.
yeah, it was gus hansen reacting to when he was up from the table and came back to find out he had forfeited his big blind by not being seated while the last card was dealt.

Devilfish raises on the button with q2, hellmuth calls with 1010 on the big blind, small blind folds.Flop comes q 8 5 Hellmuth checks, Devilfish betsHellmuth sits there moaning and complaining, says "I put him on 2 kings before the flop" everyone at the table starts laughing at himHe folds the 10s face up. Everyone laughs some moreDevilfish shows the 2. Everyone is still laughing, making comments like juanda "hahahahaha didn't he say he put him on king 2, hahaha"Hellmuth should have gone broke that hand (unless he reraised preflop and it was enough for devilfish to fold)
