A 'Mike the Mouth' Cameo

Mike Matusow made a quick stop in the ESPN secondary feature area to share some banter with Phil Hellmuth. The ever-talkative Mike loudly proclaimed a bounty on Hellmuth's head, a signed copy of Matusow's new autobiography, Check-Raising the Devil. The early inside line has to go to Jerry Yang, who's been stealing chips early and has amassed a healthy stack of 100-denom grays.

Hellmuth and Matusow swapped a bit more banter for the cameras, with Matusow proclaiming as he exited, "I'll see you on the rail in about five minutes."
