Scotty Nguyen Talks Motivation and Legacy
Scotty Nguyen"You call, and it's gonna be all over baby."
Scotty Nguyen uttered that iconic quote 17 years ago on the final hand of the 1998 World Series of Poker Main Event, goading Kevin McBride into calling it off on the river to ship Nguyen the bracelet and $1 million in prize money.
That would prove to be the second of five, and the crowning moment in one of the most decorated careers in poker history. Nguyen would later add the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy — given to the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship winner — and a World Poker Tour title to his achievements, which include nearly $12 million in live cashes.
