It's Limit, Baby

Scotty Nguyen just took his seat. "No limit, baby, right?" he said. No, not no limit, the table responded. "We play no-limit triple draw I'm all in every hand, baby!" replied an unfazed Nguyen.

Nguyen gets involved with Davidson Matthew on the first hand he is dealt.

The pair capped it before the first draw. Each drew one card. Nguyen bet, Matthew raised, and Nguyen called.

Nguyen then drew one card, and Matthew stood pat. Nguyen checked, Matthew bet, Nguyen raised, and Matthew just called.

Both stood pat on the third round. Nguyen bet and Matthew called.

Nguyen showed an 8-6-5-3-2 and Matthew mucked.

Nguyen dragged another big pot shortly thereafter with a nine-eight. After the hand was completed, he picked up the nine and the eight and shouted to the table: "Don't you know? 1998, baby! 1998!"
