WPT Event Won by Scotty Nguyen, Baby
January
20, 2006 (written by Beat The Fish)
Everyone's "Baby" to Scotty Nguyen
at the poker table. It's been awhile
since I've been able to write about
Scotty winning a major event, but
the almost $1 million first prize is
his after beating out Michael
Mizrachi at the final table of the
Gold Strike World Poker Open in
Robinsonville, Mississippi. Other
notable names include Josh Arieh
finishing in 13th place. The event
was a stop on the World Poker Tour
circuit, so you'll catch it on the
Travel Channel later this year.
There were 327 players who paid up a
$10,000 buy-in for the event
creating a $3.1 million prize pool.
Here's how the final table looked
and how they finished:
1.
Scotty Nguyen - $969,000
2.
Michael Mizrachi - $566,000
3. Raul
Paez - $298,000
4. Gavin
Smith - $173,000
5. An
Tran - $125,000
6.
Bau Le - $88,000
