Mike “The Mouth” Matusow revealed in the last episode of his own poker show “The Mouthpiece” that he is one person who would the most want to see Russ Hamilton put in the jail. Now he reveals why he is so eager to put him away!

Matusow don’t like mr Russ Hamilton very much.

Matusow revealed in an interview of “Hardcore Poker Radio Show!”, that Russ Hamilton kept calling him after WSOP in 2005 and asking him to play heads-up with him at Ultimate Bet. Matusow would lose almost every time and lost almost all of his winnings from the WSOP Main Event and the Tournament of Champions, that is over $2 million!

Eventually Matusow got back about half of the money he was cheated, but the damage was already done. The whole cheating incident affected his game negatively and he has played overly tight since that.

“The Mouth” has spoken with CEO of Ultimate Bet about the case and seen the evidence against Hamilton and he is hoping that Hamilton is going to jail for a long long time. Matusow says that he is 100% sure that Hamilton is guilty.

Matusow thinks that other poker players are pussies because they have not been vocal enough on the issue. The clips of the interview can be listened from the website of the show.
