No one can question Scotty Nguyen's poker resume; his long list of accomplishments speaks for itself. However, "The Prince of Poker" has been invited to the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championships all three years the tournament has been held, though he has yet to win a first round match!

Here's a look at Scotty's career NBC Heads-Up results:

2005: Lost to Mike Caro

2006: Lost to Ernie Durack

2007: Lost to Phil Gordon

2008: ?

This year he's been matched up with consummate tournament pro Bill Edler, perhaps his toughest opponent yet. Can Scotty reach the round of 32? Stay tuned... we'll find out shortly!
