We know how badly Scotty Nguyen wanted to repeat his feat from 2008, winning the 50K HORSE back to back. It didn’t happen. Scotty went out in 22nd place. The 2209 H.O.R.S.E World Championship attracted fewer players than it had done in the three years previously, with just 95 players that stumped up the 50,000 required to sit down and play for one of the most prestigious titles in poker.
Naturally most of them were established pros, and amongst those who survived, not Scotty, we find Vitaly Lunkin, Erik Sagstrom, Freddy Deeb, Gus Hansen, Huck Seed, Tony G, Erik Seidel, Todd Brunson and Thor Hansen. Sadly for Scotty things do not look good and the chances for him to win $4 million got a lot slimmer, which is the sum he’s set out to win during the 2009 WSOP, or else he’ll quit poker.
