"I'm Going to go Play Blackjack!"

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

We recently passed by Scotty Nguyen's table and observed that he was visibly upset. He folded his hand and stated "If I pick up one more hand like that I'm going to go play blackjack."

When the next hand was dealt Nguyen was in the small blind. A few players limped into the pot and action was on Nguyen who looked at his hand and yelled "I told you!" and mucked his hand even though it was only 25 chips to complete his small blind. We're guessing the "Prince of Poker" hasn't seen many good hands today.

He currently sits just below the starting stack at 2,850.
