He's Here, Baby

It's me, baby!
It's me, baby!
During the opening days of the Main Event, ESPN always picks a table holding one of poker's superstars to play in the Final Table arena. As play started, there were only seven players seated under the bright lights and who might be filling one of those empty seats was a matter of some speculation.

That is, until Scotty Nguyen walked onto the set, medalliions swinging as he took the stage. "Good luck, Scotty!" a woman sitting nearby said and Scotty said, "Thank you baby", as he took his seat. The last time Scotty sat at that table was just a few days ago, when he won the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship.
