Hand #101 - Scotty Nguyen

Stud:

Michael DeMichele (X-X) {4-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {A-Clubs} (X)

Scotty Nguyen (X-X) {K-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades} (X)

Michael DeMichele brought it in, Scotty Nguyen completed, DeMichele raised and Nguyen called. On fourth Nguyen checked, DeMichele bet and Nguyen called. On fifth Nguyen checked again, DeMichele bet, Nguyen raised and DeMichele called. Both players checked sixth street and DeMichele checked seventh, only to face a bet from Nguyen.

As DeMichele tanked, Nguyen picked up his cards, fanned them out and held them over his head so the rail behind him could see his hand as he cackled wildly. The floor had to admonish him for showing his cards.

"He (DeMichele) doesn't want him to stop!" quipped Erick Lindgren with a laugh.

DeMichele ultimately made the call. Nguyen turned over a king-high straight and won the pot.
