Scotty Nguyen, baby

Some timely good luck for Scotty Nguyen. His stack dwindling, he raised to 1,100 in early position. The only taker was Cedric Kolstad in the small blind, who flatted.

Flop: {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

-- check, check.

Turn: {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

-- now Kolstad bet out, and Nguyen called behind.

River: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

and it was check, check again.

Nguyen turned over {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

for two pair -- and was very surprised to see Kolstad flip over an outdrawn {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

.

When I asked Kolstad for his name, he took out his credit card to show me how it was spelled. Piped up Scotty, "You haven't win yet and they already ask you for ID."
