I am glad Mike won. I have always liked him since I read his book which I thought was awesome.

I would've liked to watch this. Cool that these two were the guys who got to HU in this seeing as they're good friends & I believe Phil helped Mike out a bit years ago.

That book was a fun read. Why is Mike such a drug dealer LOL.

Well I guess he is just a degen now and not a broke degen....

Seriously? It doesn't air until April 20th. I could understand if it was next week. I don't see how anyone can exist in the poker world without finding out before then. You would probably have to live under a rock - or at a minimum avoid all contact with the poker world until the show airs. I have seen it all over the place since it happened - some forums even have the news story on their homepage. :p

We are a poker forum with a news forum for breaking news. Proper thread titles are important. :)

Great news there. I'm happy for Matusow too and hope it doesn't all go to his sport betting habits.He should invest some of it right away.I will have to find out when they start airing these episodes or maybe theres a link where we can watch them online.
