FSPC Event #14 (Day 1B): It's Scotty Time Baby!! Scotty Nguyen Joins The Flight 1B Field

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/800)
Total Day 1B Entries: 83
Day 1B Players Remaining: 46

Players have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Scotty Nguyen (Henderson, NV), who joins the action a day later than scheduled (he was under the weather, and chose to bypass Day 1A).

To an avid poker fan, the 1998 WSOP Main Event winner needs no introduction.  The "Prince Of Poker" has been one of the most colorful character on and off the felt, and has a style unmatched by anyone.  Scotty Nguyen (Henderson, NV) has won four WSOP bracelets in his career, and amassed tournament earnings of $12,587,805.  He's 26th on the all-time money list, recording a total of (307) results in his twenty-seven year career.

The game of poker is ever-evolving, and one thing that Scotty has done is withstand the test of time, case in point his most recent headlining score.  Nguyen reached the final table of the $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Roller (Event #42) at the WSOP, finishing in third place, and earning $592,875.  He shared the felt with players that are currently considered some of the best (Shaun Deeb, Benjamin You, Jason Koon), and proved that Scotty is always a force to be reckoned with...baby.

Scotty now has to deal with some of the best from the Florida poker community, as he is seated at a table with Jeffrey Trudeau, Ian O'Hara, and Juan Martinez.

Scotty Nguyen - 30,000 (37bb)
