Re: Mike Matusow staked 2 unknown players into the Main Event

Mike Matusow after busting out of the Main Event decided he wanted give two unknown players a shot at playing the WSOP M.E.

He started by making the following post on twitter:



He also posted on his facebook page:



After reviewing all of the "poker resumes" sent in he narrowed it down to a few and made a decision. This process lasted no longer than one hour. Mike decided the best candidate was the following person:



Her name is Stacy Nutini.

He decided that he didn't want people to think he picked her only because she was a female. He found another resume that caught his attention and decided to give two Main Event seats to unknown players.

The second person's name is Dan Ellery. http://twitter.com/nutcicles

Shortly after picking the two "stakees", Mike exchanged contact info with Stacy and Dan. Best of luck to Stacy Nutini and Dan Ellery....Everyone follow them and see if they make a deep run into the 2010 Main Event!

Re: Mike Matusow staked 2 unknown players into the Main Event

Stacy Nutini and Dan Ellery are expected to be playing on Day 1c. This is definitely a nice gesture, by Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, giving two unknown people a chance at being the next Main Event champion!

Like, oh my God!

Tbird, are you Mike's PR manager?

I love how the "unknown" lady has a victory poker patch.

Re: Mike Matusow staked 2 unknown players into the Main Event

Stacy is part of a forum I am a member of, bad beats poker. She posted a solid resume there asking for action in the ME just hours before getting a stake from Matusow. I think she is a great pick and best of luck to her!

The only catch is that MM will keep 94% of their potential winnings.

Its actually a 30% freeroll.. Scott, (Mike's brother confirmed its a 70/30 deal for both)

For how generous Mike is being to these amateurs, I'd say its a great deal none the less for them since Mike is putting up the entire $20k

Good luck to them! I'll keep my eye out. I;m sure Mike took his time selecting them and fair play.

Do we know if they have ever played the ME before?

"After reviewing all of the "poker resumes" sent in he narrowed it down to a few" then picked the one with the biggest tits like any man with half a brain would do
