James Claims Scotty Nguyen's Bounty
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Fresh from coming fourth in the $1,500 Short Deck for $31,307, Robert James jumped into the Hall of Fame Bounty and found himself on the same table as Scotty Nguyen.
Within two levels of sitting down and before the dinner break, James got into a raising confrontation with Nguyen with all the chips going into the middle with the Hall of Famer at risk for 113,000.
Scotty Nguyen: KxKx
Robert James: A♣4♣
James spiked an Ax on the turn and was good enough to crack Nguyen's pocket kings. 'Scotty Baby' headed to the exit, while James claimed the $2,013 bounty and is now freerolling the tournament.
