You Come at the Kings, You Best Not Miss
Emad Alabsi was in the big blind and saw a flop of heads up against Scotty Nguyen, checking to the WPT and WSOP champion.
Nguyen decided on a bet of 3,200 and flicked the chips into the middle, with Alabsi wasting no time as he did the same.
When the arrived on the turn Alabsi seized the initiative, betting 5,800 into Nguyen and staring him down. The Prince of Poker was not impressed though, and he quickly made the call to see the fall in on the river.
Alabsi tried one more time to push Nguyen off the pot, but his 8,700 river bet was snapped off with Nguyen tabling with confidence. Alabsi could only knock the felt in acknowledgement and slide his cards into the muck, properly chastened after trying to bluff a living legend.
To cap things off, Nguyen was dealt in the big blind on the very next deal, flashing the cowboys after action folded around and telling the table "king me baby!" as only he can.
