"Stop Messing With Me!"

Milko van Winden

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Scotty Nguyen saw the player on the button raise and Nguyen had enough of it.

"Stop messing with me! Every time you raise on my big blind. Enough! It's the fourth time in a row!" and Nguyen put in a stack of orange chips. The player on the button thought about it, but he ended up folding so Nguyen started stacking up again.
