Talk About Playing Position (Not Cards)

Scotty Nguyen

Okay, here's another one for the strange-but-true file.

Scotty Nguyen raised to 1,600 from the cutoff, and the player on the button reraised to 4,100. Nguyen made the call, then, before the flop was dealt, the player on the button asked the dealer if he could be dealt his second card.

That's right. He'd only been dealt one card. And he'd reraised Nguyen nonetheless!

The dealer dealt him his second card, then burned one and dealt the T-3-2 flop. Nguyen, who only had about 6,000 or so behind, instantly shoved all in, and his opponent folded.

"What if he shows one card and beats me?" said Nguyen afterwards, considering the possibility of his having folded to his opponent's preflop reraise. "Would be the most embarrassing moment in the last 27 years," he added.
