In 2004 and 2005, he served six months behind bars after being caught selling drugs to an undercover officer. A few years later, he bet on ESPN’s coverage of the WSOP that he could lose a certain amount of weight by 2008; he came in two pounds under his goal. Matusow lives in Henderson, Nevada, and used online poker winnings to buy a special BMW 645 CI cabriolet. He’s rarely seen without his golden ‘chai’ necklace around his neck. His 2009 autobiography, “Check Raising the Devil”, hit bookshelves in 2009. He is the former host of poker podcast “The Circuit” and online video show “The Mouthpiece”.
