"I've Never Seen a Tight Asian"

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

With 700 chips in the pot and the board reading {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Kenny Nguyen had pushed all in for around 2,000 chips against Jason Young.

Young seemed to be struggling with whether to call or not and Nguyen asked, "You heard that I'm a tight player?" to which Young replied, "I've never seen a tight asian." That elicited a chuckle from the table and Young folded his {a-}{k-} face up.

Nguyen showed his {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for jack high and a flush draw and scooped up the pot bringing his stack to 2,850. Young still had around 4,500 after the hand.
