The Prince of Poker Gets Past Ted Forrest

Scotty Nguyen and Ted Forrest just flipped for a spot in the Round of 16 and 'The Prince of Poker' called it right, setting up a match between Nguyen and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu.

Scotty limped into the pot from the button, Forrest moved all in and Scotty made the call:

Nguyen: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Forrest: {6-?} {6-?}

Forrest held the lead through the turn as the board filled out {K-?} {K-?} {2-?} {J-?}, but Scotty spiked an ace on the river to take the lead and the match.

On his way out, Scotty looked into one of the cameras and said, "That's right, baby.... MWAH!"
