🎭 From Weeds to the WSOP: How Poker Saved His Life

You ever hear a story so good you forget to blink?

Matt Salsberg was writing hits in Hollywood (Weeds, Entourage), selling sitcoms to networks, living the dream. Then came the nos. Then came the cancer. Then came the heater.

If you’re new around here, every week we bring in a member of the poker community and give you a peek behind the curtain (shield your eyes but open your ears!). This week we’ve got 2012 WPT POY Matt Salsberg.

He’s got a WPT Player of the Year title, a wild WSOP run, and a story that sounds made for TV — probably because he could’ve written it himself.

Let’s go.
