Nguyen-ing Is Everything

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The Prince of Poker just took his seat here in Choctaw and the familiar sound of his laugh is already filling the tournament area.

The always entertaining Scotty Nguyen, who won the 1998 WSOP Main Event, limped in with a chuckle from the small blind in just his second hand since taking his seat.

Both he and the Big Blind checked the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. But when the Big Blind fired out a 100 chip at the {7-Spades} turn, Scotty couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on Baby," he said, tossing in call. "You have to beat aces to win."

The {j-Diamonds} river was met with checks by both players as Scotty turned over {j-Spades}{2-Spades} for trips.

"I lied," he said with a smile. "But at least I checked. I don't want to hurt you too early."
