Nguyen Takes Home His Fifth Bracelet in the $50K H.O.R.S.E.A star-studded final table has been par for the course at this year's World Series of Poker, and the final eight that made up the $50,000 World Championship of H.O.R.S.E. was no exception. Boasting 16 bracelets between them, the players who survived the five-day marathon of poker were truly among the world's elite all-around players.After a grueling final table that lasted over 300 hands, 1999 WSOP main event champion Scotty Nguyen came out on top over nose-bleed stakes online cash game player Michael DeMichele. Nguyen earned his fifth bracelet in the process, and took his lifetime winnings to nearly $9.4 million.

An interesting tidbit from Pokerroad

- Scotty Nguyen Is This Year's Freddy Deeb (2007) – I call this one the "Not Exactly How Chip Would Have Done It" Award. Yes, I suppose it’s good that a well-known pro won the $50k HORSE event two years running, but neither Scotty nor Freddy did it with the grace that Chip had done it with. Both players drunkenly trash talked their final table (Scotty MUCH more than Freddy. So much more, in fact, that there were rumors that Full Tilt considered asking Scotty to remove his FTP patch because he was potentially embarrassing the company on national television). The fact that Scotty behaved the way he did, and that his name will be the first one engraved on the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, should make anyone with respect for the game nauseas.

I was totally disappointed in Scotty's performance at the final table. And I used to think he was a decent guy. But he has sure proved that he's a loud obnoxious drunk. Even Lindgren was pissed off and that's dam tough to do. When he sees this after he's sobered up, I hope he's ashamed of the way he acted but somehow I doubt it. Which is sad.

I just saw the episode in question (been on DVR for a while).I agree that Nguyen showed a complete lack of class.Erik was actually rooting for the "kid" after he got busted, which shows what an ass Scotty has become. I'll be rooting against him from now on.
