That's what Mike Matusow said as we walked by his table.
"It's not every day you see a table where you not only know everyone on a first-name basis, but you can even say you're acquaintances with all of 'em," Matusow continued.
With over $15 million in World Series of Poker cashes and seven bracelets spread among the six players, Matusow was right. Of the seven bracelets, four belong to Matusow himself. Todd Brunson holds one and Chris Bjorin also has two.
Dan Smith, Jon Turner, and Lee Markholt are all still trying to find that first bracelet win and many consider Smith to be one of the best players left without a bracelet to his name.
