Good Time for a Break

Rumor has it that Scotty Nguyen wasn't his usual upbeat self during the break, that kings-versus-aces encounter losing him the majority of his stack and clearly demoralizing him.

He also suggested that the dealer almost passed him the incorrect change, which would have effected the size of his subsequent double-up and thus, his current chip count.

"I don't mind losing with kings versus aces, baby," he commented. "But the counts need to be right."

Perhaps the break came at crucial time for Nguyen, and he will return composed and ready to rebuild that stack. We'll soon find out as we get set for the penultimate level of the night.
