World Poker Open - Scotty Scoops a Big One

  The Prince of Poker was sitting at yet another World Poker Tour final table; more than any other player, Scotty Nguyen had sat at the WPT final tables without a win. He was determined to change that bit of history.

  At the World Poker Tour World Poker Open, being held at the Gold Strike Casino in Tunica, Mississippi Scotty Nguyen, An "The Boss" Tran, and Raul Paez got involved in one of the few three way pots of the night.

  Scotty started things off with "Big Chick", ace queen. His:

... was good enough for a $74k raise. An followed along with a great hand, cowboys; his:

... should have meant a raise, considering he still had the two blinds behind him. As it was, he just called. The small blind did fold, but Raul, sitting in the big blind, only had to call about $50k for a shot at the $200k in the pot. He came along with:

... and Raul couldn't take it anymore. He fired out $120k. Scotty, wary perhaps of a hidden set, just called. Amazingly so did An, who was kicking himself when Scotty scooped up the big pot.
