WSOP: Men Nguyen grabs 7th Bracelet

p49 Men NguyenMen 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.

Both players agreed to put everything in blind with Adams having a low stack, so they watched the cards on the table helplessly.

Adams was able to get (A-spade, 3-Diamond) Q-hearts,Q-clubs, 5-spades, 4-clubs, (9-diamond).

Nguyen got (9-spades, 6-diamonds), 10-Spades, K-clubs, J-diamonds, 6 clubs.

Nguyen wanted his last card facing down. Everyone held their breath as The Master took a look. Queen will serve Nguyen a straight while a King will give him a more superior pair. It was King! K-diamond was turned over. Really a nice way to win the 7th bracelet. Classic.
