Most poker pros are actually pretty dull – more maths geek than movie god. In reality their mystique usually doesn’t extend much beyond a wacky pair of sunglasses or a cool nickname. But then Mike ‘The Mouth’ Matusow isn’t like most poker pros.

His 2005 began in jail and finished with him being crowned the best poker player in the world.

He’s done more in 12 months than many of his contemporaries will manage in a lifetime of adrenaline-free poker play.
