Men Nguyen Continues Controversial WSOP
Men Nguyen Continues Controversial WSOP

We caught up with the action as Men "The Master" Nguyen and an unknown opponent showed down on a board that held four cards to a straight. Nguyen's opponent showed a {9-} for the low straight, while "The Master" showed a {K-} for the high end.

The dealer must have misread the board because he began to push the large pot towards the other player. Nguyen angrily grabbed his king and began slamming the table with it, showing the dealer, the players at the table and anyone within earshot that he held the winner.

The controversy was quickly sorted out as the dealer recognized his error and awarded the pot to Nguyen, who now has a healthy stack of over 16,000 chips.
