Scotty Nguyen

Thuan "Scotty" Nguyen is a Vietnamese American professional poker player who is a five time WSOP bracelet winner, most notably as the winner of the 1998 WSOP Main Event. Scotty is one of the most recognizable poker players on TV, with his gold chains and his habit of calling everyone "baby".

Born in 1962 in Vietnam, Scotty came to America at the age of fourteen, eventually settling in the Los Angeles. He attended dealer school at the age of 21 and was employed by Harrah’s poker room. He made about $150 per night and lost most of it playing low-limit poker games, where he knew he wasn't that good but felt like gambling anyway.

Scotty first cashed at the WSOP in 1995. He won his first bracelet at the 1997 WSOP in the $2,000 Omaha 8 or Better, winning $150,000.

Unfortunately Scotty blew this bankroll (not for the first time either) and was completely broke right before the 1998 WSOP. He had to borrow money from Mike Matusow in exchange for a 1/3rd stake in his winnings in order to play in a small satellite to the main event. Nguyen made it to the heads-up final against Kevin McBride. On the final hand, there was a full house on the board (8-9-9-8-8). Scotty made a big bet and then said to Kevin McBride: "You call, it's gonna be all over baby!" McBride called, saying "I call. I play the board." Nguyen beat McBride with a better full house by holding 9-J. Along with his 2nd bracelet, he won the $1,000,000 prize, which he had to split ($333,333) with Mike Matusow. His main event triumph in 1998 was immediately followed by tragedy when, the very next day, one of his brothers was hit by a car back home in Vietnam, and killed. Because of this, Scotty does not wear his 1998 WSOP championship bracelet.

Scotty almost made the final table of the 2007 WSOP Main Event, finishing in 11th place out of a field of 6,358, earning $476,926.

After making several final tables at the WPT, Scotty won a WPT event in January 2006 during season 4, defeating Michael Mizrachi in the Gold Strike World Poker Open, winning $969,421. With this WPT victory, he became one of only 5 people to win both the WSOP main event and a WPT title.

In 2008, he won the WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event and the $1,989,120 first place prize. He became the only player in history to win this event and the WSOP Main Event. During this event, Scotty exhibited what some call rude and maybe even rule-breaking behavior. In the broadcast of the event, Scotty was shown drinking a lot of alcoholic and swearing at the final table. After the event, Scotty stated that the editors depicted him unfairly and that he was exhausted and frustrated with another player. Later on, he issued an apology and said that there was no excuse for his behavior.

Scotty is one of the most aggressive and confident poker players playing today and always plays to win, which is why he is such a great tournament player and why he has also gone broke before. Scotty is somewhat of a controversial figure. Some people think that he is someone who just plays with a lot of emotion and that his jokes are entertaining. Others say that he is disrespectful to other players at the table an also site the rumors of his drug use.

In 2009, Nguyen won the inaugural LA Poker Classic $10,000 H.O.R.S.E World Championship at the Commerce Casino's annual LA Poker Classic Series, winning $339,743.

Nguyen has also made appearances on the Ultimate Blackjack Tour playing Elimination Blackjack and made an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in April 2004.

As of 2009, he has one of the best tournament records in poker, he has 5 WSOP bracelets, 37 WSOP cashes, 1 WPT title, a record-tying 8 WPT final tables, and total live tournament winnings exceeding $10,700,000.

Phil Hilm did a number on Scotty in the 2007 WSOP.

Think Scotty got a bit too cocky, got outplayed, went on tilt, and the rest is history

He's a hard core drunkard in real life.

gulfport on August 19, 2005

englishcat - would do u do for a living? smooch off poker pros?

The Joker on August 18, 2005

From what I've seen, his ability to change up his game frequently is awesome. Secondly, he's been around for a long time and seems to earn his money playing poker instead of promoting the latest and greatest poker site or some other garbage poker product like some of these new "stars" are doing. Hats off to you Scotty good luck!

Great Player on August 15, 2005

See you on friday Scotty...Ive got champagne in the fridge in your cottage..we will drink to the game and I look forward to you moving to England!

englishcat on August 15, 2005

Saw Scotty at Harrahs outdoor Carnival bar. He had a good sized entourage and was being very friendly with everyone, along with tipping the bartenders over $400.

inxs on July 18, 2005

Yes Scotty is very generous..when I was with him last time he tipped everyone..I remarked on his generosity and he said "Im a people man Cat"

englishcat on July 18, 2005

englishcat on July 14, 2005

Damn shame to see Scotty get eliminated - he had such high hopes after securing that sponsorship deal with Michelob. Better luck next year Scotty mate.

Poor old Scotty..anyways hes ringing me later to tell me all the details..I hope to soothe him with my words..Im upset for Scotty now :(

englishcat on July 9, 2005

youll soothe him with your mouth but it doesnt involve words. oh by the way scotty called and told me to relay to you that he wishes for you to wear the french maid outfit that he bought for you the next time the two of you meet.

english cat the poker pro's lackey on July 9, 2005

Englishcat - he won't be able to send you that ticket I'm afraid as his purse strings are being controlled by his new accountant Maa'l Pyrinjoon-Hornberg (half Thai, half Jew) and he isn't too keen on freeloaders. Not saying you are one of course but Scottyi's finances aren't too good since he was burnt on that Jerry-Curl investment in southern Arkansas.

Wizardio on July 6, 2005

hmmm I do know lately Scotty is having a few money troubles..thats why when we are meeting up I said "Scotty tonight Im buying the beers"..on the phone when I told him he was delighted..he said "You are such a good friend Cat"..i was proud and said "good luck at the world series friend"..he said "You should be here Cat to advise me"..I said "I know Scotty but you will be ok on your own"...I hope he wins this year...good luck Scotty

englishcat on July 6, 2005

Englishcat - I already have a two-bedroom pad in Vegas where Scotty will crash when he needs to catch a few hours sleep or just sober up. He calls it the Ho Chi Minh suite and you can usually find him there on the second Tuesday of every month when I'm hosting my card school.:)

Wizardio on July 4, 2005

U cant have one wizard..Scotty knows me well..he said when we meet again we will play cards for 15 hours straight,,,he wants to learn all my strategies..hes in vegas now having a beer and a ciggy..hes ringing soon..He might even buy me a plane ticket for the world series so I can watch him and stay with him

englishcat on July 4, 2005

Received a call from Scotty in the early hours of this morning - he was drunk and emotional and said he was terrfied of losing in the first round of the WSOP. I told him not to sweat it and use the 'Wizard Whammey' where you whisper 'YES!!!!' under your breath when you've got 2 7 off suit when the river flops a set of aces. Makes those suckers fold every time. This seemed to settle him down a lot - he thanked me for it.

Wizardio on July 3, 2005

Wizard u cant know him..I know him so well we are thinking of getting a house together..not in a sexual way its going to be a big house and have a big room to play snooker in and a bar in and a poker table..he said "shall we get a restaurant in the house to impress the girls"..i said "yes scotty we should,the girls will love it"...he agreed and said he will house hunt after the world series...lets all wish him luck

englishcat on July 3, 2005

Whats with people saying they know these pros?? The joke has worn thin, give it a rest. Get a life.

james on July 3, 2005

Wizard U cant know him..Im crying now that u pretend to know him..I know him really well..weve been for beers...weve picked up women together..weve played loads of poker together..weve eaten together..weve stayed in the same hotel..Ive been in his car and him in mine..Hes coming over to England after the world series to see me..Ive booked a day paintballing when he comes..its going to be such fun :)

I just got the following text from the guy:'Thanks for the help Wiz baby. The tip about grimacing on the river when you have the nuts was brilliant. Should clean up now baby. Later.':)

Wizardio on June 30, 2005

I asked him if he knew you and his exact words were 'I've never spoken to anyone who fits that description. He sounds like a total punk. Baby'. Now either you're lying or Scotty is telling the truth.

Wizardio on June 29, 2005

No im telling the truth..Scotty has invited me for a home game after the world series..Iwish i had recorded the conversation to prove it..Hes settled in his hotel in vegas now..good luck scotty phone me again tomorrow :)

englishcat on June 29, 2005

u cant know him wizard..i know him really well and have played loads and been out with him and everything..he never mentioned u..i shall see him soon i shall ask him if he knows u..he cant know u

englishcat on June 28, 2005

I've known Scotty since he came to the US - in fact I gave him his 'Baby' catchprase as I thought it would be a good tagline for him. If you listen to any of his interviews after winning in 98 he attributes all his success to the mystical powers of that catchphrase.

Wizardio on June 28, 2005

I hear you Scotty - I did the same thing to that sucker when I went all in on the river with an 8 high. Totally freaked him out. He said 'You got me with that hand baby' and folded them in a hurry. I said 'Don't worry mate, you don't have to play me every week'. True story.

Wizardio on June 27, 2005

Scooty win and wizard u are lying..u cant know scotty..i know scotty well u know..weve played lots and had beers together and everything

englishcat on June 27, 2005

I once got him to lay down Quad 10's in a limit hold em final table on a board of 6d 3s 8s 10h 10c to one big bet on the river in a 5-way pot. Everyone folded and my 4 high took it down.I showed him my cards and he's never been the same since. He sold all his bling and started listening to Celine Dion constantly. Also, he took up birdwatching.

Scotty Win on June 26, 2005

Scotty wouldnt do that..ive played him enough to know..scotty is warming up for the world series playing a game in the hotel against a few tourists..he told me theyre "easy money"

englishcat on June 25, 2005

sounds like you are talking out of your ass

wizardiosucks on June 23, 2005

Nice guy but I busted his ass last time I played him - went all in on the river with 2 4 off suit and he folded quicker than a $30 suit. Told me later that he had a set of aces and that it was the best play he'd ever seen.

Wizardio on June 20, 2005

hey englishcat - nobody likes the english. find one nation who can stand the english and i'll eat my own mouth

rest of the world on June 19, 2005

I met Scotty Nguyen at the Taj one cold night last November. I had been sitting across from him in a ring game for over an hour and he had been raising every single pot. Finally I looked down at my whole cards and decided I was gonna use my reputation as a tight player to bluff him out of this pot. He raised it five hundred to boot and I immediately reraised him 1500 more. Scotty, being the aggressive player he is reraised me 1500 more. I took a deep breath and pushed em all in. To my disappointment he called and turned over AK suited. I dropped my head and shamefully turned over two baseball cards. I knew I was done but to my surprise, an Albert Pujols 2002 Topps card came on the river for the suckout and the win. Scotty couldn't believe it. He threw his hands in the air and said "how can baseball card get in deck baby?" I stared him down, laughed and said "some questions weren't meant to be answered baby", then quickly bolted. True story.

scottys nephew .phi on January 25, 2005

This guy is one of the ugliest mother f**ker i have ever seen on TV. What the hell? Couldn't he just play behind a tinted window or something? or at least do something... Edit his ass... I mean face. Do a little of cut and paste, shit, anything. Damn the overpaid poker producers. Next time i see his ass on tv. i'm gonna sue comcast. Nightmare ! Literally.

I can usually read players very well...but I don't think I would ever be able to get a read on Scotty through the way that he plays.

Chad on November 30, 2004

scotys is unpredictable , which is a great asset at the poker table,,coming from nothing and doing what he has is next to impossible..hes a true survivor and that goes beyond the poker world...he can be a bit brash and verbose, but hes fun to watch and hes got the braclet to back up his talk...

djnpa_30 on November 29, 2004

There is a method to Scotty's madness. He's a smart player and most times uses the drinking at the table and his wild manner to throw people off. It works. As with most aggressive players, he has problems throttling back when the situation warrants it but you can't deny the guy's success. Given his background he is truly a great guy. I really enjoy watching him play on TV and in person.

"No, You dont show him..."

PUZa on November 16, 2004

first of all the story about the giy with k 8 was awful...you should lose playing that nonsense. second of all i think scotty plays a hell of a game, you cant put him on a hand and thats the markings of a great player. he may be a great player but he talks to much shit and thats why he is broke and needs backers every year just to get in the damn tourny

texasKINGS on November 2, 2004

I met Scotty at the Casbah nightclub at the Taj. When i asked him if he was scotty he smiled and said, YES!!! He then turned to the bartender and told them that me and 5 of my friends could put whatever we ordered on his tab!!! Very nice guy!!!!!!

For those who down the man. You really don't know what your talking about. You say things like"I played'em and he aint that great or how lucky he got and now he's broke". C'mon,apparently you guys are just jealous and got beat by him or were even to afraid to sit at the same table. For one he is not broke and definately does not suck. For those who have sat at a table with him and won and are now bragging know nothing of poker(u probably got lucky as everybody does from time to time)and as to the reason you have none of the accomplichments that Scotty has. He's not only my fav. player but the best I have seen. He puts people on tilt faster than anybody I know(except for maybe me). Scotty,you da man and keep it up. What goes around comes around! You know what I'm sayin.

N Sixx on October 18, 2004

I met Scotty Nguyen at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City at the 2004 Poker Tournament for No Limit, Texas Hold Em. It was an awesome! Nothing withstanding that when I first saw him, I said "Dude - It's Johnny Chan." Thankfully, he didn't hear that comment (or did he...?) and I followed up with "I saw you on ESPN at the WSOP" and that made him smile. We shook hands and parted ways. It was the healing salve on an otherwise bummer of an experience for my part. The drive one-way took 3 1/2 hours. Then there was the additional 45 minutes I spent standing in a very long line registering for a "Taj Card" - which allowed me to participate in the poker tournament. At the table, on the first hand I drew a Straight with a possible Flush draw showing from the flop. The turn and the river cards were off-suit. I know a Flush beats a Straight, but I couldn't bring myself to just dump the hand I was holding. I bet about half my chips...wouldn't you know it - the guy at the end is not only holding the Flush, he's holding a STRAIGHT FLUSH. The Poker Gods are cruel. On the second hand, I drew a King and 8 of diamonds suited. The guy at the end, having just taken half my chips bets heavy before the flop to drive me out - but I want to pay to see the flop, I call his bet. The flop brings a Queen, 8, 6 - all offsuit and I'm holding a pair of 8's with a King top card. I splash the pot and the guy at the end of the table raises over the top of me. I've been dying to say it since I sat down...so I look at him and say: "I'm All In!". The turn card (4th Street) brings another 6. Now I'm sitting on two pair and feeling good. The river card comes and it's a Jack offsuit. I look at my two pair and then look down the table and the guy at the end and he turns over shows his 8, 6. I cannot believe it....he is holding a FULLHOUSE and I am gone!! The first to go at my table. Not 5 minutes of poker tournament time for the over 4 hours I spent just to get up to that moment. I find myself cussing under my breath as I make my way out of the Taj. I clear the front doors, still grumbling...and there is Scotty Nguyen, finishing a cigarette and a cell phone call. A nice ending to an otherwise awful time at the Taj.

Scotty Is Such A Cool Guy!!! Just Yesterday Four Of Us Were Standing In Line For The Bellagio Buffet, He Passed Us By In The "express Line" And One Of Us Noticed Him And Screamed His Name. He Took The Four Of Us Out Of The Regular Line And Hooked Us Up With Vip Passes For The Buffet!!! How Awesome Is That!

I saw him at the Mirage this past weekend! He is so nice and I love how he ends every sentence with "baby"...haha. He made it to the final table but I don't know who won because I didn't arrive in time to be a studio audience.Besides all of this, I love how he plays. PLAY TO WIN BABY!!

why pick on his mom?

what? on July 14, 2004

I have noticed if he gets to the final table as of late he goes out early.

Ron on July 14, 2004

Some people laud Scotty as an agressive and confident player. When I examine his poker game his decisions at the tables reflect stupidity and wrecklessness. If he was a fantastic poker player as the shocking numbers of people seem to believe, then he wouldn't be a broke, one-time wonder. Scotty is a trash-talking moron who needs a little LasVegas queer-eye to take away his ghetto-gold and fix his hair. He is a cancer to the poker world and I cringe whenever the unlikely odds place his wreckless/stupid style at a final table--which only gives him more opportunities to run his big mouth. Why does anyone like this guy? He is shameful, and his mom is shameful too.

Scotty, go bluff yourself. You were a 4-8 players borrowing money ten years ago. You got lucky to win the WSOP and now you are still borrowing to play big games!

strait2dace on May 20, 2004

I love to watch him play, and I love his style of play. He does have a good personality, laughs a lot, and pretty much exemplifies the whole Vegas persona - jewelry, etc. But, he is the worst dresser I have ever seen. His clothes are so cheesy it's bad even for Vegas. Any HOT? C'mon - there isn't a woman in the world who can really say this guy is hot. My God - his hair alone prevents anyone from thinking he's attractive. One of my favorite players nonetheless, but c'mon......

Best bluff ever! 7/4, said he thought he was playing black jack? LOL... I LOVE IT! If there is a rock star of poker, it's this guy! I wish more poker players had his aggressiveness and humor! I love guys like Howard Lederer for their great math skills, but Scotty is an entertainer! Poker needs more of that! And he has the best fashion sense!

Scotty nguyen is awesome. I was watching the 2003 championships, and it was great to see him bluff out Humberto on a 10/A, then say he thought he was playing blackjack. To see him win on a 3/2 kicker was the greatest thing I've ever seen. Everytime I play Texas Hold'em, I always do the " Yea Baby" phrase of Scotty nguyen himself. It's always fun to watch him in action.

Elson > elsosuic on April 10, 2004

Scotty is one of the best, entertaining, and delightful players to watch. He can take some chances and he can really be aggressive.
