Chop, Chop

The end result of a pot between Scotty Nguyen and the player to his right wasn't that exciting, but the hand itself was interesting enough. With the board showing {6-Clubs}

and sitting in the small blind, Nguyen check-raised the button player's flop bet, adding 6,000 chips on top. The button called.

The river fell {5-Spades}

to put a straight on board. Nguyen put 20,000 chips in the middle. His opponent wasn't happy about that bet.

"I've got a straight on the board," his opponent replied. "Ok, I call. You got a nine?"

"No, baby, chop it up." Nguyen showed down {J-Diamonds}
