Scotty Nguyen Out, Baby.

From the Sportsman --

There was a good 15 minutes just now when micro-stacked Scotty Nguyen kept moving in and doubling to mini-stack - for example getting it in against two players and finding his {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} good on an Ace-high board. Speaking to the winner of the side pot: "You win that side pot. It's not easy to knock out Scotty. I told you - Scotty live forever!"

Well, it wasn't quite forever, but it was a good long run, with his final hand being {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} against {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} - the all-in was announced after there had already come a third Queen on the flop, and a gracious Nguyen shook hands left and right: "Good luck, Willie...Good luck young man..." etc. and exited to a round of applause.
