Prince of Poker Pummeled On River

Level 3
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen

Hold'em:

We caught the action as an opponent on the button raised to 200 and Scotty Nguyen made the call. The flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Nguyen fired a bet of 100 into the middle, which was called by the button. The turn card came {10-Hearts} and Nguyen slowed down, checking to his opponent.

The player with the button bet 200 and Nguyen decided to see the river card, making the call.

River: {8-Hearts}

The Prince of Poker, living up to his royal moniker with multiple WSOP bracelets jingling on his wrist, led out for 200 this time and was raised to 400 by the button. Nguyen looked up at his opponent and asked in his distinctive style "you make the flush baby?" With a large pot up for grabs, Nguyen was committed and made the call. His opponent flipped up {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Nguyen mucked after getting the answer to his query.
