With his hot streak going, it was no surprise to see him sitting nearly 2nd in chips at the World Poker Tour 2007 Borgata Poker Open main event. But, he suffered the same fate as the WSOP ME final table in 2005 when he was the first to exit, as his top two pair couldn't hold up to Roy Winston's pair plus a flush draw when a third diamond hit the turn leaving Matusow with only three outs on the river.
He took home $271,600 but I'm sure the money didn't mean a whole lot (at least to him, where I would finally be able to move up to the $2/$4 game online).
Roy Winston, not a newcomer per say, finished 26th in the WSOP ME this year and managed to use Mike's chips for good as he took down the tourney good for the $25,000 buy-in to the WPT Championships and $1.5 million dollars.
