"Is that because of the winning or the personality?" joked Will Failla.

"Both," Matusow replied without taking the bait. Talk turned to the Commerce Heads-Up Championship that was won earlier in the week by Vivek Rajkumar. Billirakis pointed out the confusing double-elimination bracket board that was right behind Matusow's seat.
