The ironic thing is that Matusow was in a hand with Phil [edit: Phil Hellmuth] and some 3rd person (don't remember his name) a few years ago. Mike ended up folding and it went to the river, and the other person jammed against Phil when a flush landed on the river. Mike said, "that's why I folded and made a flush on the river", essentially telling Phil that two extra flush cards were dead. In fact, the player who jammed only had one flush card - it was a bluff. Phil ended up folding but I would have been so mad if Phil had called due to the extra info. People suggested that Mike didn't do it on purpose, but this video makes it really clear that he knew exactly what he was doing. I think Phil and Mike had pieces of each other - that type of collusion is just intolerable.

@KKSuited

Mike had a ton of chips if I remember correctly. When you're the chip leader and you have a lot of short stacks and each higher place is worth so much more, you're gonna double them up sometimes. You don't even necessarily care if you're the favorite, you just care that their tournament life is on the line. Ofc you have to be a monster chip leader to play that way, but 7-2 beats aces sometimes. It narrows their ranges and forces them to only play monsters into you because they know they are getting called. This allows you to pick up the ever rising blinds and Antes, and occasionally pick off a small stack.

Mike was mouthy as usual, but Sheiky was WAY out of line. Everyone knows that is super bad manner.
