Scotty Not Paying Attention and Winning

After a player in early position moved all in for 2,200, Scotty Nguyen tried to raise to 800. Apparently Scotty wasn't paying attention and had no idea someone had moved in. Nguyen apologized to the table, and made the call.

Cards were turned over and Nguyen was in bad shape as his {Q-}{8-} was dominated by his opponent's {Q-}{10-}. Nguyen received good news on the flop as the cards read {8-}{A-}{A-}, the turn was also good to Nguyen as another {8-} rolled off. The river was a meaningless {6-} and Nguyen eliminated another opponent.

Nguyen continued to apologize to his opponent after the hand. It was nice to note that both players shook hands and left each other on good terms.
