A Pot for Scotty, Baby; Hennigan Gone

Level 4

Hold'em

A player in middle position opened with a raise to 600 and action folded to five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Scotty Nguyen in the small blind. He opted to three-bet it to 900, the big blind folded and the original raiser made the call. The {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop saw Nguyen lead out for 300, the middle-position player call and the {7-Spades} come out on the turn. Nguyen kept the pressure on with a bet of 600 and his opponent rapped the tabled before sending his cards to the muck.

Even though he won that hand, the 1998 WSOP Main Event champ is having a tough go here on Day 1 and is down to a third of the starting stack.

Meanwhile, John Hennigan has been sent to the rail.
