Scotty Nguyens history making comment: During the World Series of Poker in 1998 in the final hand when Scotty was playing against Kevin McBride, there was a full house on the board. Scotty told McBride You call this one and its all over, baby! What happened was that McBride did in fact call since he thought that the full house showing on the board would give him half the pot. However, Scotty had a nine in his hand that gave him a larger full house.
