The Epic Downfall of Mike Matusow in the 2004 WSOP Main Event

i got big cojones you got little peonies talk about yourself all you want he's joking around now we go out to the outer tables and find mike the mouth mattisau going heads up against derrick tomco dewey tomko's son who was just knocked off our featured table tomco was all in with his stack of 82 000 chips he leads with a pair of kings here comes the flop madison's got a7 and now madison's got a pair of sevens turn card is a six and matasow would need an ace or a seven to knock out tomco on the river ain't gonna be easy winning this 5 million ain't gonna be easy it should never be easy to win five million here comes the river card yeah it's a seven on fire yes three lucky sevens and madison gets healthier derek tomko will have to go commiserate with his dad who was just knocked out also i wish i didn't live long enough to see this well as we well know one man not afraid to celebrate right there on the left of your screen is mike matasow finding himself in a big hand with this man greg ramer greg from connecticut oh talk about evil eye norm if this guy walks into his train station looking like that i'm taking the bus ramer glasses at all has put down a 20 thousand chip raise with two sevens and a straight draw on the board madison comes over the top with a 40 000 chip raise putting a lot of pressure on raymer raymer considers does he want to lose that many chips here nope he folds it you got to stop me buddy i'm going to bust you i got big cojones you got little coronies i'm sorry bro i'm just messing with you raimer just scribbled in his notebook seat number one is it jordan [Music] how good am i well in the old days i used to have a big ego i'm saying nobody plays better than me nobody play and i was convinced of it and the truth of the matter is is big egos and poker will take you down you got to believe you're good but you got to be humble i was set for life i i was a millionaire i was i was set and i blew it all life in the fast lane could take over anybody you know partying and strippers and the vegas lifestyle and i watched my whole poker life go down the tubes in two years and i lost it all as much as i partied the last three years i feel like i'm like 90. it's tough to actually get your confidence back to believe you're as good as you used to be once you think you can't win you're done and that's the whole thing of being able to bounce back i've gone through the roughest times of my life than my ever and i fought through it i battled through it and i'm back i'm playing great i am playing at that level i played at three years ago and that's that's nothing better nothing greater feeling for me action over to mike the mouth madison he's got a nine seven suited with spades all right and he'll race to 12 000. over to fossil man he is in the small blind ace jack two diamonds and he'll put in 36 000 a raise from raymer matassao will make the call we'll go to the flop 10 9 3 a pair of nines now for mike in ramer acting decisively and aggressively again going all in on just a draw he's got the nut flush draw he had two over cards against the pair of nines count that and madison apparently considering risking most of his chips with a pair of knives and these two dancing again and they've had a lot of phrase between each other about 230 000 huh well if i'm right i'm a chip leader i'm wrong i'm hurting mike you always had faith in your reads buddy you always had faith in your reads don't let your reads let you down one time this time please don't let it be wrong if mattis out calls raymer's tournament life is at stake here 230 000 right 241 000. how much 241 000. just that that's it if i counted it right i told you i was going to bust you you came after me didn't i don't let me be wrong god call mike the mouth will risk about two-thirds of his chips to try to knock out raimer oh my god no diamond baby don't let me get unlucky one time baby blank on a turn dealer dude earn card two of diamonds and that gives greg ramer the winning flush yes how satisfying it must be for ramer i play to win baby i play to win you got to get 26 million in chips i play to win and that rips the heart out of mike matason not to mention two-thirds of his chips going to ramer you know why i called him before the flop because i knew what he had before the flock thank you for busting me mine but i knew he had nothing he didn't have exactly nothing he actually did have a drone make a difference it's gonna be more hard work to get the money you understand i go with my i know what's going on well greg ramer so far has let his cards and his bets do the talking for him he's got a couple of eights right now and he will raise the big blind to 14 000. action to ed foster and ace queen unsuited i saw him with a couple of king queens unsuited he had to look at now the ace queen he will consider fly fishermen are patient if nothing else that's a good point lot it really translates well to here and he will raise to 45 thousand pourer folds as does hilker the rest of the table falls over to mike madison he's got a king ace unsuited out just over 100 000 chips and he's going to push him all in with his ace king so the master of the short stack is going to put his tournament life at risk right now action to ramer now he would love to take mike mattis out down but he is going to fold his cards what she got mike approximately 110 all together same as man all right oh cool and ed foster will take the challenge and try to knock mike madison out and mike madison a terrific position one time let me get lucky let me hold up the best hand one time a three to one favorite as we go to the flop man come on one time baby foster and mata sound out of the flop eight seven five no help for either madison now a bigger advantage give them red the club's coming turn cars seven of hearts blank deuce and now on the river only a queen would knock matasol out of the main event it is a queen ed foster has knocked matasow out of this tournament why do i get deservedless a catastrophic hit to mike madison who never shies away from showing his emotions this game is brutal for people man and before it's over you might end up with something like that so you know you got to be able to take it both ways no mike matassa blow up on that final hand just plain bad luck see the call i made on the guy earlier let me play the best poker in my life man mike was going broke no matter what it's a this is brutal as it gets right here why do i have to choose this for a living i got to be the sickest person in the whole entire universe oh boy i thought this was my year damn how does that happen to somebody oh well i ain't playing a nickel and dime i'm playing to win i'm happy i'll be fine i'll be fine
