A Pot for Scotty, Baby; Hennigan Gone
Level 4
Hold'em
A player in middle position opened with a raise to 600 and action folded to five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Scotty Nguyen in the small blind. He opted to three-bet it to 900, the big blind folded and the original raiser made the call. The flop saw Nguyen lead out for 300, the middle-position player call and the come out on the turn. Nguyen kept the pressure on with a bet of 600 and his opponent rapped the tabled before sending his cards to the muck.
Even though he won that hand, the 1998 WSOP Main Event champ is having a tough go here on Day 1 and is down to a third of the starting stack.
Meanwhile, John Hennigan has been sent to the rail.
