Mike Matusow Goes Off On Russ Hamilton


 Mike_matusow_russ_hamilton
Mike Matusow is busting out and finally speaking about Russ Hamilton cheating him.

The guys on the Hardcore Poker Show landed an interview with Mike Matusow where The Mouth unloaded on Russ Hamilton.

To sum it up:

  • Hamilton kept calling Matusow to play heads up, and MATUSOW KEPT LENDING HAMILTON $50K to play him heads up. We put that in all caps for emphasis, btw. "Can you ship me $50k so we can play heads up and I can steal it from you?" Man that guy has balls.
  • Matusow claims to have evidence that proves Russ is 100% guilty (not that anyone doesn't think he is).
  • The incident has changed Matusow's style of play negatively (we've heard this from other pros too).
  • Other poker players are "pussies" for not being more vocal on the issue (couldn't agree more).

I think Mikey and all his poker pals should seriously consider a little lynch-mobbing action on Russy boy. The prick!

Stupid question:
If Mike has all this evidence against Russ, why does he have to wait until the end of the year to pursue legal action (after his book and the WSOP)?
