WPT Event Won by Scotty Nguyen, Baby
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
