Mike Matusow Loses 62 Pounds and Gains $100,000
Prop bets are a mainstay among the poker crowd. Fellow poker pro Ted Forrest made a $100,000 bet with Mike “The Mouth” Matusow that he would not be able to lose 60 pounds by the 2008 WSOP with 6/3 as the deadline. According to the article on the worldseriesofpoker.com website:
“The weigh in was at 12:01 this morning” Matusow said. “I weighed in at 179lbs and I won the bet. I was 241lbs a year ago today and had to be at 181lbs today.” Asked how much he weighed on January 1st, he smiled and said “235.”
Matusow is one of my top five favorite players. He is a unique personality and I would love to sit down and have a drink with him (doesn’t have to be alcoholic) to really pick his brain. He intrigues me and out of all of the big name poker players on the scene today, he is one of the few that I might be dumbstruck by should I ever end up at a table with him.
Kudos Mike, this PokerMom is so very proud of you!
