Nguyening Back the Fans

Scotty Nguyen wanted to enter the tournament area but had to talk around the security guard who wasn't too keen to let him in. Once in the room, Scotty then started going round to every player still left in and either shook their hand or gave them a hug. In Juha Helppi's case he got a hug while Scotty fiddled with his short stack. The introverted Finn didn't quite know how to take this.

Scotty recently published an apology online for his behavior at this year's WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E final table. Maybe this next step is the beginning of him personally making it up to every single Scotty fan he meets, baby.
