Scotty Nguyen once said, “You call, it's gonna be all over, baby!” during the last hand of 1998 World Series of Poker main event. Opponent Kevin McBride did call, and it was over. Nguyen won the World Series of Poker championship bracelet, and has not looked back since.
Born in Vietnam, he boarded a ship and sailed to the United States at age 14.
Along with the main-event win, he has cashed in more than 100 major tournaments. He has won four other WSOP bracelets including the 2008 World Championship $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. and the 2006 WPT World Poker Open. Nguyen cashed six times in the 2007 WSOP and made a run at his second main event bracelet, finishing 11th for almost $500,000. He has collected more than $9 million in tournament cashes.
