Earlier this year, Matusow, winner of four World Series of Poker championship bracelets, announced on Twitter that he and two partners would soon be moving to Dallas, where they would be taking over and running a popular legal poker room called the Poker House.
 
But, in exclusive interview with Gambling 911 Wednesday, Matusow said the agreement to move to the Lone Star State and run the room has fallen through because “they made a deal with me and then backed out.”
 
“It was a joke,” Matusow told Gambling 911 of the now-dead deal that was worth millions of dollars.
 
“They had me announce the deal publicly and then they had me take down my post. And then they jacked me off for four days and then they backed out of the deal.
 
“I spent hours negotiating the deal with them. All the parties had come to an agreement. Then they make me look bad by backing out. It’s insane how people are.
 
“There are a lot of dumb and greedy people in the poker world. Fuck these idiots! They cost themselves a fortune by backing out of the deal.
 
“They would’ve made millions of dollars a month instead of losing money every month like they are now.”
 
Matusow, who is from Los Angeles and lives in Las Vegas, told Gambling 911 he now plans to open his own poker room in the Dallas area, because “there is a lot of money in Texas.”
 
“I am looking at something in the Arlington area, near the Dallas Cowboys stadium,” Matusow said.
