Scotty Nguyen Main event sweat BABY!

[flavio321]

there's a general agreement among pro poker players that Scotty is a super nice guy. i heard of stories where helped out matasow and sexton when they were at their lowest. and continues to help others...
he's chipping up slowly and poised to take it. he needs the score to feed all of this 15 children.

[PokeReader]

They broke the rest of the feature table and left only Scotty there.

[CrazyLond]

I bumped into him at Casino Arizona about six months ago and he was super cool. He came around to some of the tables and chatted it up with some of us. It's awesome that he is still in this, along with 2 other world champions. I tried to figure out the odds of 5 champions making it to the top 250 but gave up after running into some huge factorials.

Anyway, good luck to Scotty Nguyen, I hope he makes some history in the next few days.

[PokeReader]

Up to 1.15

[Ckrad]

Good luck, Scotty is the best ,baby.

[flavio321]

"baby scotty baby knows the hardship of misfortune baby... i grew up in vietnam baby and had no money baby... got on the boat to us baby and found poker as my way out baby..."

it would be so great for poker if he makes the FT.

The problem you have is not a little thing.

edit: oh yeah, and probably the thing I'm most bitter about from this year's WSOP (from a fan's point-of-view) is that I'm not going to get to see the FT with Elezra and Scotty getting absolutely trashed.

[Ramon Scott]

If they keep calling... well... you know how this is going to end.

[Dranoel]

I hope Scotty takes this event down.

It would be awesome to show that the pros can still win the ME.

It's gonna be all over baby

Hope Scotty wins it, this would be good for poker.

1998 WSOP World Champion Scotty Nguyen on Day 5
1998 WSOP World Champion Scotty Nguyen on Day 5
Player Profile: Scotty Nguyen

Scotty Nguyen is one of the most popular players on the high-stakes tournament circuit. His nickname is "The Prince," but most people simply know him as Scotty Nguyen, baby. Many fans seek out the 1998 WSOP Main Event champion looking for an autograph or a photo, and he can quickly make total strangers feel like friends, referring to everyone as "Baby" -- whether he knows their name or not.

Speaking of "baby," Nguyen has one of the greatest quotes in poker history. On the final hand of the 1998 WSOP Main Event, he was heads up against Kevin McBride, and there was a full house showing on the board (eights full of nines). Nguyen moved all in, and while his opponent considered the call, Nguyen taunted him with, "You call, gonna be all over, baby." McBride called, playing the board, and it was all over, baby. Nguyen showed a nine to win the hand -- and the championship -- with a higher full house (nines full of eights).

Scotty Nguyen has over $7 million in career tournament earnings -- 12th place on the all-time money list, just $1,000 behind Erik Seidel (who he will pass regardless of his finish here). If he finishes in the top 12 in this Main Event, he'll move into the Top 10 on the all-time money list, passing Paul Wasicka. And if he wins this event, he'll become poker's first $15 million man.

Scotty Nguyen has four WSOP bracelets on his resume, including the Main Event in 1998, and two bracelets in 2001. This year, he's already made two final tables, including a memorable second-place finish to Eli Elezra in Event #24 ($3,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo) where the final two players were drinking and laughing together, giving it the feel of a home game more than a WSOP final table.

Nguyen has also had success on the World Poker Tour, tying Daniel Negreanu for the career record with seven final table appearances. It took Nguyen several tries, but he finally won his first WPT title in Tunica in early 2006.

He often seems lackadaisical when he plays, talking and joking with the other players. He's even willing to take breaks in the middle of a major tournament to just relax and have a smoke, not worried about missing a hand or two. While he lacks the constant intensity of a player like Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson, Nguyen definitely has focus when he needs it, and his trademark sunglasses conceal eyes that are taking in everything that happens at the table.

Scotty Nguyen is in this event to win it, baby, and he has eyes for nothing but first place. Everyone seems to be rooting for him, as he is a favorite of fans and fellow pros alike. ESPN's best-case scenario has a famous player with his charisma at the final table.

Only four players have won the Main Event more than once -- Johnny Moss, Doyle Brunson, and Stu Ungar. With these huge fields with thousands and thousands of players, many people thought the days of multiple championships had come to an end. Nguyen will try to prove them wrong over the next couple of days.

If anyone can do it, Scotty Nguyen can, baby.

Even though Scotty sold a bracelet (they were headsup so whatever "a brothers got to eat") to Eli this year i still love the guy.

GOGOGGOGOGOGGOGO Scotty

when i made a call with JJ vs a guy squeezing with Q8o he gave me a "nice call baby" too bad the guy hit trip 8s on the turn /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Sven Heinecker Eliminated by Stig Tap Rasmussen
Sven Heinecker open-pushed for 258,000 from UTG and Stig Tap Rasmussen called from the big blind. Heinecker turned up 3c, 3d and was in bad shape against Rasmussen's 7h,7s. The flop was 9d,6h,2h. Rasmussen couldn't bear to watch and started pacing away from the table.

As the 6d fell on the turn, Scotty Nguyen exclaimed "Oh my God, a three!" and Rasmussen whirled around to see the bad news, only to find that Nguyen was just messing with him. The river was the 7c, making Rasmussen a set of sevens and eliminating Heinecker.

After the hand, Rasmussen was up to 1,550,000.

Never too late!

[Ace-Ex]

He chopped a bracelet to Elezra? I didn't hear about that. I think the posting about 81 players taking nearly half a million would make a lot of sense, but given high number of Pros left, I don't think it's about the money now. Money is nice, though....
