Mike Matusow is one of the most controversial poker pros in American poker history. With four World Series of Poker bracelets and over $10 million in tournament earnings, Matusow has built a legacy of his own.

“Matusow”, a documentary that follows the dramatic and often controversial life of Mike Matusow, is now available to watch for free on YouTube. The two-hour film explores the highs and lows of Matusow’s life—from his extraordinary poker career to battles with substance abuse, gambling addiction, family feuds, and outspoken political views.

Award-winning filmmaker Frank Zarrillo directed the documentary. He interviewed dozens of poker players and media personalities during its production. 

“Matusow” features appearances from poker legends such as Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Scotty Nguyen, James Woods, Chance Kornuth, Shaun Deeb, and many more, who all share their perspectives on Matusow’s complex personality and legacy. The film also delves into some of the most controversial chapters of Matusow’s life, including his feud with 2004 WSOP Champion Greg Raymer, offering insights and perspectives that many fans may not have known. 

“Matusow” Documentary Now Available on YouTube

Originally released for rental on Amazon Prime in December 2024, the documentary is now available to stream for free on YouTube. The move likely aims to reach a wider global audience, as the film was not previously released internationally.

The documentary was uploaded to the Indie Rights Movies For Free YouTube channel and garnered over 17,000 views in the first 24 hours. As of now, it has over 35,000 views just two days after its YouTube release.

Poker legend Phil Hellmuth congratulated Frank Zarrillo and Mike Matusow upon the release of their documentary on YouTube. Hellmuth praised the film, calling it a “Great Watch.”
