Men Nguyen grabs his 7th bracelet of his career when he ruled event number 10 (7-Card Stud World Championship) at the WSOP this year. This puts him on the 6th all-time tie joining the ranks of Phil Ivey and Billy Baxter.
Nyuyen takes home $394, 800 for this win after an exciting heads up match with Brandon Adams. Everyone thought that there will be a rematch between Vladimir Schmelev and Michael Mizrachi who faced off a week earlier.
Nguyen was able to steal the show with his fearlessness and at one point of the game, playing without even looking at the cards.
Nguyen was even overheard talking to Adams saying he already got six bracelets, and Adams will be famous if he beats the Master on their heads-up match.

Twan Le and Gus Hansen both make a full house. Twan KNOWS Howard Lederer is hugely strong here and Gus Hansen is sickened by the somewhat weak comments on Twan.
Daniel Negreanu and Erick Lindgren are having fun. ^^

Gotta love Phil Ivey. Ivey raises. Daniel Negreanu re-raises light and makes a somewhat silly racial slur. Phil Ivey pushes. Daniel Folds. Ivey returns the favor. Beautiful!

This hand is legendary because of Tom “durrrr” Dwan’s look at the end of the hand. He did miss a valueraise here, didn’t he?

Pure cooler for Antonio Esfandiari here – was supposed to be pure cooler the other way around. Tom Dwan plays the hand absolutely standard – and I’m sure Antonio understands this in retrospect.

Watching the latest “Poker After Dark” episodes of the Helmuth Bash Cash Game, makes you wonder who is the better cash game player. Phil Helmuth and Tom “Durrr” Dwan face each other a few times, Bob Safai has a go and then Phil Laak seems to be all over the place.
Whenever Dwan is at the table, he seems to rattle the players a bit and they don’t play normal poker – that’s because Dwan has an ultra aggressive style that is often not out of a poker strategy book. Laak plays a few crazy hands and does things that he wouldn’t normally do, he gets real lucky to take a hand from Dwan with bottom pair. Even he admits that he is a Donkey in this game!
One thing about “Durrrr” is that despite his aggressive style, he still reads the situation very well. The way he gets out of a hand against Helmuth, who flops a flush, makes you realize he is very aware. Perhaps Helmuth’s bet on the turn was too high and he could have waited until the river to bet, but still the way Dwan just got out immediately was impressive! Read any good casino winning strategies and they will always tell you to be aware of your situation, to hold or fold where necessary.
