i just came back from watching the final table at ceasars TOC...wow..maybe one of the best final table pokeras you all know..Mike Matusow won when his K9 held up against Hoyt Corkins all in open ended straight draw(Q10) flop was K J 4...some interesting things that i saw and heard while i was there....1. when it got 3 handed(mike,hoyt,phil)...they made a deal...take 200,000$ from the top and give 100,000 each to second and third..so the payout would be 800,000$ to the winner, 425,000$ to second, and 350,000$ to third... ( i overheard this)2. Looks like mike and Steven Dannenmann became good friends and mike used steves Globe as a card holder...3. john juanda and eric siedel were there until the end to root for mike..4. Hoyt Corkins has a pretty and young girlfriend..5. (might not be televised) mike talked to norman chad about how he lost alot of his WSOP winnings on betting football games(5k a game) ...and that he learned his lesson and now has someone taking care of his money..6. he had to wake up early to play in the super stars of poker (50k entry fee) today...7. mike cried alot..( a good cry) he had his mother and brother there with him....thats it for now i guess..if you have any questions just ask and ill try to answer them...

That's awesome. Was mike a class-act at the final table or did he kind of needle everybody? Was Phil really upset when he got knocked out? Who was most of the crowd cheering for? And was Hoyt Corkins a freaking luckbox like usual? Or did he only suck out like 6 times instead of 25?

when it got down to heads up..it got real quiet....mike's speech at the end was all class,,said that hoyt was a world class player and phil played great..crowd was cheering more for mike in my opinion...actually..mike went all in with AQ and hoyt had AK..hoyt had mike covered...mike hit a Q on the turn to stay alive..huge pot...one last thing..SOBE drinks and advertisements were evrywhere..i had like 2 myself..lol..i hope that 2 mill sells enough energy drinks
