Nguyen Wins Baby

After a player in early position raised to 300 Scotty Nguyen reraised to 1,300. A third player then moved all in for 3650, Nguyen was the only one to make the call. Seeing as Scotty had less than his opponent he was the one at risk.

Nguyen held {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and his opponent has {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Things were looking bad for Scotty on a board of {6-}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}, but the river was all Nguyen needed as a {K-Spades} rolled off. Scotty Nguyen doubled up and is around average stack.
