Mastery

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

With more than $10 million in career live tournament earnings and no less than seven WSOP bracelets, Men ``The Master`` Nguyen is one of the greatest players in WSOP history. However, his reputation has been tarnished over the years by a number of cheating accusations.

The one thing he`s not known for is wasting much time at tournaments and after showing up for the start of Level 4 in Choctaw he`s not doing so here.

We caught Nguyen in a flurry of action just moments ago and he`s chipped up already. First, The Master called a 2,325 chip bet on a {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop with 4k in the middle. Nguyen and his sole opponent checked both the {4-Diamonds} and {5-Diamonds} turn and river with Nguyen`s {a-Spades}{4-Clubs} somehow holding against big slick.

The very next hand he raised it up to 450 pre flop and after getting the call from the Big Blind, another 450 chip C-bet on the 8-high flop was enough to pick up a second pot.

He was at it again right away making it 500 to see the next flop, but a 1k C-bet couldn`t shake the single pre-flop caller off a {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop. It went check-check on the {Q-Spades} turn, but Men folded when his opponent fired 2,200 at the {6-Clubs} river.

Regardless, The Master has it up close to 30k and appears ready to mix it up a little.
