The prize was $1.9 million and the respect of his peers - respect that he already had. The game was the $50,000 buy in H.O.R.S.E. World Championship at the 2008 World Series of Poker, and the victor was Scotty Nguyen. Scotty picked up his biggest victory prior to this year in 1998 when he won what was then the biggest tournament of the poker year, the WSOP Main Event. The H.O.R.S.E. event is considered more important by the pro players thanks to its complexity. The 45 year old poker pro beat out a field of 148 of the best poker players in the world.
