scotty nguyen wins big at world series of poker

Another win for Scotty Nguyen. Yesterday, the veteran poker pro won nearly $2 million at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, taking down a field of 148 players, beating out 23-year-old Michael DeMichele and emerging from the final table with his fifth gold bracelet: Nguyen wins $2 million at World Series of Poker.

Nguyen won the final hand Monday at limit Hold 'em, pushing DeMichele all in with an ace and a 10. DeMichele, far behind in chips, called with an ace and a three, and Nguyen's 10 gave him the win when both players paired their aces. DeMichele won $1.24 million for his second place finish. Not too shabby either.
