Cooler for Scotty

[user4144]

I've always thought that if you threw Mr T and the Fonz into a melting pot you'd brew up Scotty Nguyen, the former WSOP main event champion not only one of the most popular players on the scene, but also the most colorful.

Sadly for his many fans, his 40,000 stack has taken a huge hit and now sits at just 6,000.

An unknown player kicked off the action with a 2,100 preflop raise, which was subsequently called by another player, before being reraised to 11,700 by Patrick Stemper. Scotty Nguyen then threw himself into the mix, smooth calling the 11,700.

After the two other players folded, Nguyen and Stemper saw a {7-Clubs}

flop which they both checked. However, neither was quite so reserved on the {6-Hearts}

turn, Stemper check-raising Nguyen's bet of 15,000 all in. Nguyen quickly called.

Nguyen = {K-Diamonds}

Stemper =

The

on the river missed Nguyen by a country mile, sending a massive pot to Stemper and leaving the multiple bracelet winner just inches from the felt.

Nguyen down, but not out.
