Scotty Nguyen has four World Series of Poker bracelets and one World Poker Tour title. Known as "The Prince of Poker," Nguyen is one of the most recognizable figures in poker. At the upcoming Scotty Nguyen Poker Challenge IV, players will have the chance to meet the man himself, and possibly play alongside him. The series starts this Thursday with a slew of preliminary events and concludes with a $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em championship that takes place Nov. 18-20.
Most of the buy-ins for the preliminary events range from $110 to $550 and are no-limit hold'em. There is also a $1,060 buy-in and a $2,080 buy-in no-limit event. Events in variations other than no-limit hold'em include H.O.R.S.E., pot-limit hold'em, limit Omaha eight-or-better, and limit hold'em. For the complete schedule, click here.
Last year, it came down to Kido Pham and Nam Le heads up from the 91 players that started in the $5,000 championship tournament. In the end, it was Pham that took the more than $176,000 championship prize. Le received just over $101,000 of the $441,000 prize pool for second.
