Mike Matusow is back from the dead. And so are we. For now.
No seriously.
We’re not kidding.
And no, this is not 2004.
Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, he of “Game Passed Him By 8 Years Ago” fame, defeated Phil Hellmuth to claim the 2013 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship.
It was a best case scenario situation for the WSOP and NBC. Let’s just say when they got in the money and were down to 16, a Dan Cates vs Dan Smith final was on the table–which is nowhere near as exciting a combo as this Dan & Dan.
For the win, Matusow banks $750,000, or about $750,000 more than he’s banked the past four years. Hellmuth continues his year long upswing, earning $300,000.
Other cashers included the aforementioned Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates ($50,000), Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan ($25,000), Antonio Esfandiari ($25,000), Vanessa Rousso, a woman, who went to Duke ($25,000), and Phil Ivey ($25,000).

Great to hear Mike “The Mouth” is back. Wicked Chops is back, well not so much.
What’s the o/u on posts per month now….2 ??
I am hopeful, Dooby, so I’ll take the over.
I’ve missed WCP, and I’m glad to see my little eulogy was not necessary. As I always seem to be telling my son, if you know you’re going to be away for a while, LET SOMEBODY KNOW! I hope you had somebody coming by while you were gone, to feed the cats and make sure the water pipes hadn’t frozen.
