Tommy Vu is one heckuva poker player, he dominates the Bellagio weekly tournaments. He's also one helluva nice guy too, always takes care of everybody.
I had the privilege of having Tommy in my tournament just before the WSOP tournament.
Anybody that has seen his commercials has to be rooting for him just for the entertainment he gave us. I have three simple words for you: "Win, Tommy, Win".

It is'nt really the same Tom Vu, is it?!

 

[DrunkenHorseplayer]

I could never root for a slimeball who pushes that infomercial crap. I'm hoping Matusow takes it; his celebration would be legendary.

Cause we all know Matusow is a saint and an all around nice guy. Matusow is going to bluff his chips away or get out drawn on a pot and go on tilt. I'd be shocked if he won.
