The Poker Lab Rat

Thuan “Scotty” Nguyen, the man best-known for the use of the word “baby” in nearly every other sentence, won the prestigious $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship in the early hours of Monday morning, after a titantic final table.

The first five players were eliminated in a little less than six hours – the final two eliminations didn’t come for another five hours and 45 minutes. In that time the three players combined to play 178 hands.

Erick Lindgren eventually finished in 3rd place winning $781,440 as he was eliminated by Nguyen in a Stud hand sometime early on Monday morning around 4:30am.

That left Michael De Michelle and Nguyen in a heads-up contest that lasted only about 40 minutes before Nguyen won a stud-8 hand to claim the bracelet, the Chip Reese memorial trophy and $1,989,120 in first place prize money.
