2008 WSOP Event 18 Winner Mike Matusow

Usually if Mike "The Mouth" Matusow is sporting a big grin it means that somewhere a puppy has been kicked. This time the smile still came at the expense of others but nobody will begrudge him ruining the day for eight other players and capturing his third World Series of Poker bracelet. Mike didn't just overcome a field of internet qualifiers and anybody who walked in off the street from their accounting job in order to spend their vacation days living a dream: he beat a field of poker players that have as much all star credibility as the current Boston Celtics team.
